Just hope I can set it up accurately there was no instructions for the set up of it, I have read online to set it up during the day. I would of thought it would be better on a bright star or as Jupiter is high that would be more accurate.

Not even had it out yet weather been awful

That is a lovely set up I was looking at the Tak on Ebay I looked at the dew spot and it didn't look that bad I thought to myself should be easily cleaned up. But I then saw a !0" Celestron starsense as I have 3 Refractors I thought I would go for that. Cracking scope have to tell us what first light is like under dark skies. Just a quick question the mount how accurate is it at finding objects and can you input SAO numbers thanks. Paul

Yes Doug it is nearly like a grab and go once I have aligned it tomorrow when I get up early again and the skies are clear I can have it up and running in 10 minutes or less.

Its in very good hands and will be used a lot I set it up before without the Starsense just red dot on Jupiter tried the Celestron 25mm all 4 moons and two bands mirror had not even cooled. Yes and found a screw for the other one I knew I would have one. Sent you a link to one of them for when you get your 8".

All the way back from North Yorkshire bumpy roads all over the road humps near mine, checked collimation and it was spot on.

Has anyone thought of putting wheels on the base so it can be wheeled around, Would anyone think leaving the OTA in the dob base would do any harm.

Well not the post man but I picked it up. Thanks to Andrew (Astro_Dad) great scope.

No problem, thanks I am going to see what the tube surface is like if it is like skywatcher`s I will need to flock it. A friend has one he said they are very good but that was from a dark site.

Celestron Starsense from a fellow SGLer pick it up tomorrow.

I have just bought the 10" Starsense picking it up tomorrow so any tips for aligning it much appreciated.

I am now the proud owner of a 10" dob that I will be picking up tomorrow cannot wait to get first light with it. I think I will be selling my 5" refractor as I already have the Tal I can use for doubles and planets plus solar.

My first scope was a skywatcher 150p on a EQ3-2 it was a F5. I had 18 months with that set up learned and saw fantastic views.
