I will check out skys the limit and will probably put my lazer collimator back on ebay lol. Ive been looking at the BST range and on here that alot of people prefer them to TMB. I will figure it out eventually

Ive just measurd my tube and its 450mm long and their is a lense in the bottom of the focuser aswell. Theres alot to learn and like you say... trail and error seems to be the way forward

Thanks for the advice. I shall measure my tube and have a think. Ive been looking at the BST range on ebay and theres an EP at 6mm ultra wid angle multi coated that offers a 66 degree FOV. At the moment its alot to take in as im already looking for my next scope but I want to buy good EPs now so I dont have to change them again later. Its all good fun though

Bomberbaz... thanks for the advice and for confirming the 6mm as my high power. I shall now look forward tobuying my first up grade

Hi everyone. Im new to telescopesso abit unsure of everything at the moment. Ive got a Skywatcher Skyhawk 114/1000 with the 2 basic EPs that came with it. A 10mm plossl and 25 mm wide angle plossl. Both are good but I would like to upgrade. I think (if ive done the maths right?) That my max EP should be 6MM because my scope works out to be a f/8.77.... Could any help!?!

Hi all. I personnaly couldnt get my head round "Turn Left At Orion". I dont know why? It just didnt sink in!!! But the "Philips Stargazing" range of books is a fantastic source of info that has different books that cover different aspects of all things astro. I must say though ive become a little obsessed with them and set myself a mission to collect them all. And every year i get the one that covers the forth coming year. They are super easy to understand and learn from. Hope this helps.
