Telescopery

After months of research and saving up money I finally broke down and bought us a new telescope. Here are some pictures with Gwen, who was kind enough to play spokes model for me.


The telescope is an Orion 120ST mounted on an Astro-Tech Voyager Alt-Az mount/tripod. I chose this scope for its portability and versatility.

Anyone who is interested in all the details can read my summary of everything I've learned about telescopes and astronomy over on my new, re-branded, hobby blog: Hawksbill's Hobbies. I've decided to use that space for all my ranting about astronomy, board games, miniature painting, etc. and reserve this blog for discussions about the family and homeschooling and whatnot.
