  1. Hi Ive been fortunate to get a pair of Celestron 25x70 bins and wanted to ask what kind of tripod do you guys suggest? Ive seen a Manfrotto 190xprob with a 804RC2 pan tilt head but unsure if this would suit as reading it seems it wouldn’t go above 30 degrees? Any advice or pics appreciated Phil

  3. Hi After a few years out due to some family problems, I’m wanting to get back into astronomy. I’ve had a Dob 250px flex tube (loved it) and a Skymax with EQ5 mount but want something I can transport very easily to some hills near me and be confident I’ll be able to spot planets and DSOs with my son. Any advice, recommendations very much appreciated. Phil.
