  1. Which zooms would you recommend I have the celestron 8-24mm
  2. I didn't know there was that many doubles in Taurus I've wrote quite a few down thanks for posting.
  3. Wow that's a list anything over mag 11 I probably won't see but I will have a go at a few of them thanks for posting.
  4. I have been observing for 12 years with scopes, I don't have any expensive eyepieces all mine were bought for under £70. I think I would buy more expensive eyepieces if I lived in bortle 2/3 skies as in my bortle 7/8 I don't think it will make much difference.

    Hello!

    A warm welcome to SGL
  6. Phone Mark at Moonraker telescopes he made a flange for me to fit a Skywatcher dual focuser to a Meade 127" . If anything he maybe able to machine in place.
  7. They are except spent £130 on the 5" then got a dual focuser from a friend at a reduced price but had to pay another £130 for the adapter plate made for me by Mark from Moonraker telescopes.
  8. When I had my 200p I brought it in and left the cap off and the cap from the focuser until the next morning.
  9. I will hopefully if I get my operations out of the way be able to visit the show in 2023 but with the backlog in the NHS i am not holding my breath.☹️
  10. Love it I am going to write those doubles down thank you for posting.
  11. Just going to say my friend has the 180 pro with a RACi and binoviewers and says its very solid.
  12. If you have the single speed skywatcher focuser get the Lacerta 10:1 upgrade I did it on my 200p absolutely brilliant and easier to fit and cheaper. https://www.365astronomy.com/lacerta-dual-speed-1-10-microfocus-upgrade-kit-for-skywatcher-crayford-focusers?path=119_416
  13. I have two goto eyepiece`s a 15mm BST Starguider and a Vixen 10mm silver top both superb.

  15. I usually find M81 and M82 going the same distance between Phad and Dubne again then a touch to the left.
  16. Nice scope I would love one of those but put a setting circle on the bottom and a wixey that would be ideal for me.
