Hey Guys,

I'm pretty new to astronomy though I have always been interested in it in and out of school (I'm an undergraduate physics major). Anyway I got my first decently paying job this summer and wanted binoculars or a telescope for star gazing to be the first thing I bought. After finding CN and browsing for a while, I picked out a Bogen tripod and AP's 15x70 binoculars. I got the tripod last week, and I just checked the tracking on the binos... and they ARE FINNALLY HERE! I am so excited.. but I have to work for another hour >.> I wanted to thank everyone indirectly for all they helpful info that you all have made available. I don't think I would have been able to retain my sanity while looking through all the names and models if it hadn't been for CN.

Hopeing for some clear skies,
and either way I'll be back to Cloudy Nights
