There are always things you always wanted to have, but just didn't come to getting. One of these things for me is a real telescope. 

Why didn't I got it then before? It was probably too expensive, I guess it was only for those scarse moments where you could actually use it (I live in a heavy-populated area, so too much light-pollution here).

But at a local discount supermarket Lidl, they sell the most funniest things for -not- their customers, like golf-clubs, snowboards, do-it-yourself tools, and ... telescopes. So the Bresser Skylux 70mm was quite affordable and very good reviewed here, here. and here (sorry Joomla links popups do not seem to work now ...).

Last week, it was finally a clear sky, so it did my first out-of-my-attic observation of the moon. Wow! there are craters on the moon! I hope I'll have an opportunity to make some pictures by connecting my camera. More will follow (if weather permits it).
