Just got one

for christmas. Totally unexpected but since I live in Chicago, I might have to drive somewhere else to see anything but my neighbor… ahem.
Could be hours and hours of fascination.
How to own a telescope
It made me
Happy 
"Watching stars is fascinating"
How I did it: Waiting for the right moment/price for a while, then just picked up the best quality/price in my opinion.
For me it was not the kind of thing I was looking for everyday, for that reason it took more time, but since I wanted it, finally I got it.
Lessons & tips: Quite an expense, but worth it.
Before doing it, look for a friend or someone that can show you how it works, so you know whether you'll like it or not. Not good idea to waste that amount of money
Resources: I watched stars with a friend and it fascinated me

One for the backyard and one I can easily take with me. I just bought an attachemnt to use my camera with it too so hopefully soon I’ll have time to start using it for some cool astronomy shots.

I leave my telescope at the family farm in Northern AB. It’s fantastic to use in a place with almost 0 light pollution. I wish I could spend more time looking around the cosmos!
