I have been following DSF for a while and have learned a lot.
My observing skills have improved as well as my accessories eyepieces and such.
My little 12" Skywatcher is a finder scope to some of you but none the less it is my Goldilocks.
I have downloaded some of the books from Faintfuzzies and they are GREAT.
I also check out the OOTW form. Can anyone guide me to other resources for my medium ?? size scope.
My EP are Celestron Omni 32mm Orion Expanse 20mm Explore Scientific 16mm Orion Expanse 9&6mm
Thank you very much.
Mark
