Philip.

Good to see you back, lets hope for some clear skies this winter

Just been given a pair of Braun 16x50, no idea if they are any good or not. Seem ok in daylight use.

are you using the Pro version of the synscan app?

Welcome to SGL from Penzance 👍

The SynScan app still gives a daft reading for elevation, even after waiting 5 minutes, so I just enter 15m and it seems ok

Thank you, only managed about 45 minutes, always nice to look at the moon, even briefly

Wasn't sure I'd get out tonight, weather has been rubbish all day. Managed to get out about 2100, only really saw the Moon and Venus. Photo of the moon taken through the eyepiece with my old Samsung S8.

Hi, knowing what your budget is will help, but if you look at someone like First Light Optics [click the banner at the top of the page] that should give you an idea. As for what's best you won't go far wrong with the Skywatcher brand. Very happy with mine, but I'm sure others will give their thoughts. Happy hunting

Welcome aboard 👍

Welcome Karen 😀

Aaah OK, wasn't sure myself

Isn't the Synscan Pro app for EQ mounts, should the OP be using the non pro version instead?

If you can stand another £50, get the synscan wifi adapter and download the synscan app [pro for eq mounts] Does all the setup for you and is alot easier controlling the scope from your phone than the handset. I found it was anyway.
