  1. Missed these replies guys. I was checking the thread in my 'subscribed' section on my iPad and nothing new was showing up. So only just saw these :-( If there are a few of us from the Teesside area, we should try meet up sometime. I know I'd always be grateful of any help with my set up as I've had it well it over a year and only ever took it out once. And I never really fancy taking it out by myself :-)

  2. I wanted to go to Wynyard for one of the meetings last year but never did. I may this time round. I emailed a few of them actually asking for advice on where to go. One of them from Durham was even kind enough to invite me to his place where he has dark skies and his own little observatory. I never did though :-/

    I'm sure when I was up Clay Bank the other week, as I was leaving someone was in fact setting up their scope. But it was too dark to tell. I really wanted to stop and ask, but could have been awkward if they weren't lol.

    I've had mine for well over a year and apart from a failed attempt one night in the freezing cold at Wynyard, I've barely used it. Now is probably a perfect time. Dark enough before midnight and not too cold!

    :-)

  3. Nope. That wasn't me. I'm in Ingleby in Stockton. Just a stone throw away from lots of countryside. I know u need to go further for darker skies but I just need somewhere within half an hour, which is darker than my back garden. But as I drive through the countryside I don't really see anywhere to pull over.

  4. Hey guys, great post. But I haven't been through all the pages.

    I have the Skywatcher 200p (just bought), and didn't even think about the EPs that would come with it and whether I'd need to upgrade. I have a 10mm, 25mm and x2 Barlow. In the first post, Warthog says about the branding on the EP and to determine who made them. Well I don't see any marks on mine. Should I assume they need upgrading?

    Can I also ask here what peoples thoughts are on diagonals to correct the image? Would like to get one but they range from £30 to well over £150.

    Thanks.
