  1. I tried blowing some of it off with a little hand pump thingy I have (not sure what it’s called). Everything in the photo is stuck on. I just took it outside and it was *just* about able to make out the Leo Trio and maybe also the pinwheel galaxy (though I’m not sure if my brain was just seeing what it wanted to with the latter). If it needs cleaning, how best to go about it?
  2. Hey guys, It’s been a long while since I’ve been active here, or even been out with my telescope. I looked at my Skyliner 200p’s mirror and it’s collected a lot of dust since I’ve been away from it. Does this much dust warrant a cleaning with water or should I just leave it be?
  3. So I just got out my telescope for the first time in a good few months and after coming back inside I’ve found my mirror to be looking rather dusty. I didnt check the mirror beforehand, so I don’t know if this happened when I brought it back in just now or if this dust accumulated while I was in Uni. I’m trying to fight the urge to remove the mirror and wipe it clean but I know that could scratch it and mike things words. Does this mirror look too dusty to you guys? Should I just leave it as is? (The telescope is a Skyliner-200p dob).

    Just got it Tuesday and I've yet to actually use it. Hopefully I'll get the chance to tonight. What I will say is that it's very easy to carry and easy to collimate. When mine arrived, the spider vein was loose but it was easy to tighten and now it's surprisingly sturdy. It connects to the mount through a dovetail so it can be fitted on to most other mounts. The mount is also sturdier than it looks. Hopefully I'll soon be able to comment on the optical quality, but being a Sky-Watcher I expect it will be good.

  6. Thanks for sharing! I'll give it a look in. Edit: It looks like the Podcast is still going under the new name "SpaceTime".
