  1. Hi what’s the best iPhone app for star spotting ?
  2. Yea I am Seriously looking at the 127 but I hear the 5se is worth the money as the SLT mount is poor
  3. Lol:) serious bit of kit that ..I’m not that serious an amateur yet ..I’m only interested in casual back garden gazing and love the compact goto scopes cheers though
  4. Not a fan of the dob I like the compact goto scopes but appreciate the thought
  5. Hi I’m not interested in photography so the whole camera issue is no problem for me I only want back garden observation For planets and stars etc
  6. In that case I may Go for the 5se as the mount is better the 6se is too expensive for me
  7. Unlikely I’d used the set up? Why is that ? Is it not worth the purchase , sounds like a re think is needed here cheers
  8. Has anyone got one of these ..if so would you get one again? How good are they on dso ? And is the goto easy to align and set up the scope ?
  9. Just wondering if the Celestron Nexstar 6SLT would be a better option than the 5se?? More light gathering but lighter mount ..could always add a new eight to the accessories tray
  10. Found a dealer who has the Celestron 6 SLT in stock same apature as the 6se which would give me the capability for DSO ..mounts obviously not as sturdy but he’s advised it’s absolutely a fine set up for back garden observing and it’s £200 less than the 6se ..sounds an attractive option
  11. Sorry mate but as a newbie I’ve no idea what any of that means 😂
  12. I think This has been really helpful thanks folks ...I think the 5se will be the one as it fits the budget a tad better and seems a better option than the 127 cheers all
  13. A 6 or 8 inch Mak ...?? not the Nexstar se series then ?
  14. So which scope would you go for ? In my position?
  15. Just as a price compromise would the Nexstar 6 SLT be worth considering? It’s a 6”tube so more light gathering ..but I guess the mount is a poor one compared tit he 5 or 6 se Nexstar range ??
  16. So would you opt for the 5se over the 127 ..only £200 between them ?
  17. I’m not a fan of the dob personally - to big for me and I love the goto sky align system on the Celestron
