Thank you Ricochet, I have quite a bad astigmatism, so will be looking to get some additional lenses with better eye relief. I will hopefully be able to use it when the skies clear again.

Hi, I’ve just bought a Sky-Watcher explorer 130p Eq2, based on the reviews and recommendations. It arrived this week when there was lovely clear skies but I wasn’t able to see anything in focus. I’m not sure if I’ve done something wrong or if it is due to wearing glasses/astigmatism (I’ve been wearing glasses that long it didn’t occur to me that this might be an issue). the instructions say to focus during the day so I had to wait until yesterday to attempt, which again failed. Does anyone have any experience with glasses and setting up new scopes. I was hoping to explore the skies with my niece (who’s 4 and excited) but can’t show her it until I have it figured out myself. thanks in advance
