I've had my Skywatcher for 2 years now and always thought that the eyepieces made all the difference when it comes to limits. The Barlow lenses definitely gives one a whole new experience!

So far, I have basked in what it can do and take in all that I can learn. It's a far cry from the horrible scopes I had before where I scrambled with unstable mounts. It's limits? I have to say that I have yet to reach that stage.

i havn't got used to using the eyepieces yet eg; dont know when to use the barlow lens is it with the 10mm or is it for the wide angled lens for optimum visability also just found out that i can only use the 10mm lens for taking pictures which is a bit restrictive also when it comes to mounts dont know how to set the r/a and the dec ive got a awful lot to learn but im having great fun doing so two nights ago i spotted saturn for the first time it took my breath away also saw two moons spinning around it and the clouds around the rings with a hint of blue cant wait until i can take a picture of it anyway stolenfeather enough about my escapades what can you tell me about yours jimmythemoonlight merseyside
