Hi everyone,

So I've not bought a telescope for a very very long time. I have the etc 90 go to series which isn't very good on focusing. I also have the 10" dobsonian which is at mum's and too big to put on car and needs collimating which I have no idea how to do or where to go with it. 

So I have been looking at telescope, the Celestron nexstar 8se series but no way I can afford this. 

So a telescope that is around £1000, less if possible and at least 8" - 10". I don't like weight wants as I can't get to grips with them.

Any help appreciated, thank you 😬

Hi everyone,

So I got this book for my birthday, missions to the moon. The complete story of the missions contains rare and newly researched removable facsimile documents from the archives of space exploration.

See attached and enjoy! 

Oooooooh it's arrived. 

Will unwrap after work 😁 

My favourite constellation in the winter 

Thanks everyone

Hi everyone,

So at the moment I'm using my camera tripod for my binoculars whish isn't very sturdy.

Can anyone recommend a good tripod for the celestron skymaster 25 x 100 binoculars please?

Thanks all

Tonight's ISS pass, not quite a straight line as was on grass 🙈 will do it remote with phone for next pass

This evening's beautiful moon taken through Celestron Skymaster 25 x 100 binoculars. 

Hi Andy!

I used to go Barnsley for my pork chops. They are the best! 

Well done!

Only just noticed them today, I forgot to take them off 😂

So the last few years (since 2012 I noticed when I last logged on here)

I have moved from Sheffield to Manchester (Is it possible to change my name?)

I got married and bought some new kit and getting back into astronomy again. I got myself some celestron skymaster binos, the 10" Dobsonian I still keep at mums.

Now become a member of the SPA and got my welcome pack.

Excited to be back and post my observations again
