Ok thanks, my mount and tripod got broken several years ago. Getting back into it now and need a new mount and tripod.

Hi again all. Sorry I keep asking for help! Can anyone tell me if I can mount my 6se on this https://www.astrosweden.se/sv/articles/1.1265.10842/sky-watcher-az-gti-wifi-goto-montering-med-stativ?country=SE&utm_source=adtraction&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=adtraction&at_gd=3CC8A33BAB80141FFB5A05926648FA91D99195AC And if its any good? Thanks in advance.

Thanks guys. What would be the cheapest option just to view the sun with the 6se? Will a full aperture baarder solar filter get me started?

I've already got a nexstar 6se. What are my best options? Will it be possible to observe solar flares? I'd like an orange colour rather than white.

Hi, can a hershel solar wedge be used with a schmidt cassegrain? Thanks.

Hes just turned 9. Ive got a goto system.

Ok thanks, I will check it out.

Reviving an old post of mine. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement 6se mount and tripod or a suitable replacement? Cheers.

Thanks very much I will look into it. Yes its 1500mm and i will look at filters as well. Can you recommended?

Budget is around £150

Thanks, I will have a look at them. Anyone else have any recommendations?

Hi all, I'm returning to star gazing after about 12 years or something like that. I'm having difficulty remembering what I learned (which wasn't much compared to you guys) first time round. Anyway, I need some help with a new eyepiece. I'm using a 12" Dobsonian. I want to start some planetary observations with my son. I've done some research and I belive I should buy a Orthoscopic eyepiece. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

Sorry, I should have said with GOTO

Thanks for the reply. I think I am leaning towards the 10 inch skywatcher flextube. They seem to be quite well liked on here..... Couple of questions though. Will I need a fan? If so are they easy to fit and can someone recommend one please? Any other accessories I will need to consider to get good use straight away? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I moved to Sweden last year. The moving company broke the mount of my celestron nexstar 6se so I haven't been doing any viewing lately. We have some amazing clear nights here but a bit cold! I'm thinking about buying a new telescope, maybe a dobsonian 10 inch. I have up to an absolute Max of a grand to spend. Any recommended please?
