After purchasing my first telescope 2 weeks ago I came across this site and was blown away with the mass of help and advice on offer. Being a total beginner with very little knowledge, I feel I have been given an understanding of what the sky has to offer and there is always somebody available yo help and answer questions I have 24 hours a day. I Feel privileged to be a part of this amazing site. I would massively recommend SGL to anybody interested in stargazing.

Thank you sgl for all your help and long may it continue

^{I am using a skywatcher 130p explorer goto with a 2x barlow lens and 25mm and 10 mm eyepiece thanks}

oh by the way I was using the 2x barlow and 10mm lens

Thanks Joe had another look tonight can see 4 moons as stars and can see  Jupiter as a small planet and a couple of lines around the planet quite small though is there anything I can do or buy to show more detail on Jupiter and make it look bigger if you know what I mean lol I haven't had the pleasure of looking at mars or Saturn yet hopefully they will show more detail and look bigger!! is there anyway I can take photos of what I can see? thanks guys mark

Hi all I just purchased skywatcher 130p explorer also and had great views of the moon last night but Jupiter looked nothing but a bright star using the 2x barlow lens and 10mm eye piece was wondering is there anyway of taking photos when using this telescope i.e camera not dslr or webcam many thanks mark!
