Any astronomers in the house? If so, what kind of scope do you have and what do you like to look at?

Celestron C9.25 on a CG-5 mount along with an Orion 100mm refractor on a VersaGo II alt-azimuth mount.

I primarily look at deep sky objects like clusters and galaxies, but the bright skies in Ohio make that difficult at times.

God Bless,
Wesley

It's something I've always been very interested in learning. I love looking up at the stars and trying to find constellations and stuff. I really want a telescope. I never got one as a kid :(..... haha.

I'd love to get one and look at what I can't see with the naked eye, like galaxies and all that.

Used to do a lot of backyard astronomy when I was younger, but the city lights just keep getting brighter and brighter and time seems less and less available.

Anyway, I still have may original telescope, 4" Omcon Newtonian reflector with a 7x50 viewfinder. It's on an inadequate equatorial mount that I could never figure out properly (purely manual) so I memorized the sky.

I've probably seen just about everything I can from my backyard. I too love the deep sky objects, my favourite being the pair of galaxies M81 and M82.
