I'd like to show my interest please. I would have done so earlier but thought it was sold.

Messaged you ?

Will do come better weather, been meaning to for a long time

Here's a quick snap of The dish at Jodrell bank from my house taken just using my camera resting on the car roof. I didn't think it was too bad consideing I'm 45-50 miles away

Thanks for all the heads up guys, it looks like I'll have one on its way soon

I'm looking to get hold of a used celestron 8 se mount , I've tried e-bay and astrobuysell but can't find one. Is there anywhere else I can look for one or similar to fit my c8 ota. Thanks Rich

Thanks Scotty, a very handy link for the beginner

Thanks for the pointers Starguest I'll have a little play again tonight and see how I get on. R.e. the the Dec control, yes the shaft goes all the way through giving you two end. Should I have a knob to go on each of them ?

Hi all, I reieved my sparkling new SW200p and Eq5 mount yesterday I have it all built up and ready to rock but have a few questions. It says in the instructions to balance the scope at 20-30 degrees but it won't go below 30 ?? I have 3 places to put the push on knob/adjusters but only 2 knobs, is this right ? The controls are on the opposite side to the eyepiece, have I done something wrong ? Thanks Rich
