  1. … and thanks for the video too. I’ll take a look 👀
  2. Thank you for that. What eye pieces would you recommend please.
  3. Hopefully those shots will help. I can see stars but when focusing it doesn’t really magnify them much. As I said previously, the view from the finder scope is better. I’m hoping it’s something obvious.
  4. Good evening I wonder if I could pick the knowledgeable brains on here. I recently bought a Skywatcher 200p; always having enjoyed star gazing whilst taking my dog out at night. I set the scope up but couldn’t see much so decided alignment was the issue and bought an Amazon laser collimator. Unfortunately the collimator was not collimated itself so was returned in favour of a Farpoint unit with an additional Cheshire. I spent this evening adjusting but find that when the laser dot is central on the primary mirror I cannot see one of the clips on the primary mirror. Vice versa, if I adjust so that I can see all 3 primary mirror clips, the laser dot is an inch off the primary centre dot. I can see stars though the scope but they don’t appear very magnified. In fact the view through finder scope is better. I have read through this forum for clues. I am not using both the 1.25 and 2.0 adapters at the same time as suggested with other members problems. Any assistance wound be great appreciated. As mentioned, I am a complete novice and am struggling here.
