I've been browsing for a few weeks and decided to join up as the site has helped me a lot.

I've been fascinated by the night sky since I was a kid but I've only ever used cheap wobbly refractor scopes in the past which have left me disappointed.

However I recently acquired a reasonably sized Dobsonian, that needs work, for £50 which, thanks to this site, I was able to identify as a Darkstar 8.75" 52"fl F5.9.

I'm an engineer to trade so I'm happy to do some DIY restoration and improvements on it.

Hi Shawn! 
Very glad that you joined us.
A lot of us started with a wobbly refractor and I even tried AP with it which only led to a ton of frustration.
Happy that you found a good scope to check out the amazing beauty above us. 
Very helpful folks here snd some amazing Astrophotography!
