Ok hopefully time to banish the White dots, picked up a lx 200 10" emc loads of extras including illuminated reticle, auto focuser goto controls, tele vue lenses, Orion baffled Barlow, filters etc all for an extremely low price. And not of course it's cloudy lol hopefully me and the boy may see some clear sky soon as waiting impatiently

Had a trial run last night with boys scope, first try, thought best it looked like I new what I was doing when he is back tonight for his first go.
Got scope aligned fine but living in London is going to be a problem, saw Jupiter, a big White dot I could occasionally see some banding on and some of the moons but not much else, could not see any NGC objects which I thought I might be able to NGC1976 for example. Any suggestions on spotting through star gazer explorer 130p in heavily light polluted area would be appreciated. Will try moon and Jupiter again tonight with him but tips on spotting from london and what are best objects all appreciated. Of to beginners lounge now lol
