Who Am I?

Hi, I'm Jim Prior.

Although I have been interested in Astronomy for many years it was only in December 2007 that I decided to get closer to the Stars and so purchased myself the Orion Skyquest XT10i.

This is my first telescope, therefore I don't class myself as being any kind of expert. I simply like astronomy as a hobby, and I also enjoy creating web sites about my interests.

Usually I research something in depth before buying, and so this web site is in effect a brain-dump of all the fact-finding and answers discovered along the way, which I thought you might like too!

Plus the XT10 seems to be a very popular scope. I like to provide accurate information, so if you spot anything you think is wrong, or could be better explained, then by all means let me know and I will see what I can do.

I hope you find my site useful. Enjoy it !
