  1. Am I perhaps better getting the Sky-Watcher Skymax 127 (EQ3-2) model
  2. Any one have a the skywatcher skymax 127 AZ And what your thoughts on it as a scope ?
  3. Quite a few comments I’ve read that the se is capable of some reasonable imaging
  4. Hi it been suggested rather than changing my mount from an SE to an AVX or Heq5 pro that I get myself a Celestron Wedge - has any one done this and would you recommend it ?
  5. Has anyone ever used a flight case to store their 8se ? I’m wondering what people have used. I cane across this one on eBay but it’s expensive? Any suggestions ? Much appreciated
  6. I was gob smacked - they were falling over to help me - it was helped by the fact the woman I spoke to has a son into Astro imaging
  7. My local council have agreed to fit light shields to three street lights we have around our house ! I only made a casual enquiry but they agree and have ordered the light shields to be fitted in a 2/3 weeks !!
  8. If that’s your budget I’d go for a different scope - you’ll struggle to get a Decent sized SCT scope on the mount you need
  9. Have a look at this - it’s what you’ll need mount wise as a minimum with the 5SCT tube https://www.firstlightoptics.com/advanced-vx-goto/celestron-advanced-vx-5-sct.html
  10. The 5 is fine in itself - I have An 8 but the mount is not right for Astro Photography you’ll need an AVX or EQ5 Pro at the very least. the SCT scope is super however as a scope with some amazing optics just be carful about the mount as that’s more important I’d say than the tube.
  11. Ok sounds like it’s more Astro Photography than visual , thanks
  12. Hi, would a Bahtinov Focus mask be for observation or Astro Photography?
  13. The 127 is a stunning scope and ideal for moon and planets 🪐 and it won’t need colminating either, it’s practical to move around and well priced and was highly recommended to me by FLO
