After always wanting a scope, I finally got my first scope – the Celestron Astromaster 130EQ-MD newtonian reflector.
Due to work/family commitments it took a couple of months before I really started to use it, but couldn’t be more glad I got it when I did – just before the dreaded pandemic hit – it gave me an welcome escape during the lockdowns and restrictions since.
