Telescope ordered

I just ordered my first own telescope from a Finnish online store Villen Kello. It's a Sky-Watcher Skyliner 250 (254mm/10") dobsonian mounted reflector. It's has a focal length of 1200mm (f/5) and an upgraded Pyrex Glass mirror. The telescope is also equipped with a 2" Crayford-focuser, it has a dual-fit option as well, so both 1,25 inch and 2 inch eyepieces fit. With the telescope I ordered a Celestron Omni 2x barlow-lense, and a T/2 adapter to my EOS DSLR, so that I can photograph the brightest objects like the Moon and the planets, as well as some brigth DS-objects. I hope I can get my hands onto this scope as fast as possible but we'll see how quick they will handle my order.

Blog founded, introduction

Hello everybody! I start to post stuff related to astronomy onto this site, under the name Oscar. I'm really excited about this and I hope that this will lead astronomy to act a lot bigger part in my life. At the moment, I own a Celestron 15x70 binocular but soon I'm going to have my first real telescope. I won't post any top-of-the-line astrophotos, because the telescope is going to be set up on a dobson-mount but once I get my hands on the boxes I will give you a good look at it. This is just the beginning, but oh, once I get my T-adapter...
