Hi, Many thanks for your comment, at least it sounds like you have experience and know what you want prior to purchasing a scope unlike myself. I must admit the go-to mount made the decision easier.

Many thanks, Just received delivery on Wednesday, hoping to use it this evening (Sunday) as its meant to be quite clear - I'm hoping!

Many years ago I visited an open evening at a local club where I saw Saturn and Jupiter up close for the very first time. I was totally in awe and never forgot the images I saw that night. Don't really know why it took me so long to get around to making a purchase but I guess I just didn't know what to get.....there's so much choice. I knew that I wanted to take photo's of the Moon etc. and hopefully link it up to the computer. Yesterday I visited the The International Astronomy Show at the Warwickshire Exhibition Show ground near Leamington Spa and frankly....there WAS so much choice. After a few hours wandering around from store to store speaking to most of store holders and wandering around some more I finally took the plunge and purchased my first ever telescope the sky-watcher skymax 127. Hopefully I made the right choice.
