Hello from Geneva, Switzerland
I am a newbie, one year old into this hobby.
My wife gifted me a telescope, last year on my retirement from work, probably to keep me out of the house! It is a Vixen A105MII.
Have enjoyed views of Jupiter and Saturn. Started to identify the common constellations.
Now wait for clear skies every night.
As photography is my other hobby, interested in some astrophotography.
Looking forward to learn from peers and experts in this forum.
