Hi, I've heard that we norfolk might be able to see the aurora, whats the best places to view and whats the sort of best times to go and see it. Thanks Jimmy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah on occasion do listen to music, spice girls for myself, or a bit of boyzone/westlife [emoji6] (only joking) daft punk is good to listen to. But generally anything goes for me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thankyou for the info i think im going to get myself down the local club at some point and have a go at lots of different scopes do you think i should get some better eye pieces for this one ive got now as i am just using the ones that come with it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow simply amazing journey you have had in such a short time quality! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well id like to upgrade my scope as mine is very basic at the moment id like to get one thats a more powerful, id also like to be able to fit a webcam to it, there are just so many about i just don't know where to start. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the advice id rather have the views than the mount could you not get a newtonian reflector on a go to mount? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, Really need some help, I'm starting to take a serious interest into astronomy ive got a 60mm by 700mm scope at the moment, skywatcher it is, but i want something a bit more powerful, there is so much on the market it is really hard to work out the next move. My budget is probably 350 to 400 quid but id really like it to have one of these computerised mounts so i can tap in what I'm looking for and track it. I would like something where i can get closer look more detail on distant stars. Ive never used any other type of telescope but i would also like to be able to travel with it easy eno

It was only on a second hand sight i saw, didnt know if it was any good that is all but thanks for the advice. [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, I have a refractor telescope a sky watcher 607az2 i have seen a TELESCOPE ..JESSOPS 1100 102 this one is a reflector telescope i am not to sure on the specs, but ive seen it going for 30 quid?? What do you think any advice on that please? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has any glossary or pdf? Of telescope terminology and astronomy? Kind regards Thanks in advance Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, great article there you did brush over apps that can be used may i ask what apps you think are the best. On it it said about apps for taking photos with phone and also apps for cloud cover, ive downloaded aurora watch uk and ive got a stargazer app to help me identify things. Any other apps you suggest? Thanks Jimmy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi andy Im in the heart of norwich city myself, so don't get fantastic views of the skies Does it get busy? Im a little nervous of going to be honest as i do not know very much and have only just started out But i defo should be coming down on one of those nights going to take a trip during the day so i know the route to go so i don't get lost! Im on the Facebook page as well, but its very quiet up here in norfolk, not too many astronomers? I will take all the advice i can get. Is it worth me bringing my scope down? Its a refractor its not one of them advanced ones but its my starting point

Thanks for all the reply's!! Ive posted a few times so far and getting lots of information which is great hopefully someday i can help someone out too when i gain vast knowledge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

thank you dave for replying, the barlow lens came with it, you see all these beautiful images that people post and you want to look at these through your telescope, obviously this is just a starting point for me, i can pick out the constellations, up above now but when i am stargazing im in the heart of a city so lighting does effect, what other eye pieces do you think i should get, ive shown my son the moon with the 20mm and the 10 mm but would like to have an even closer look at it. I dont wanna pay out too much on this scope as i know in a years time i assume i will be looking at upgrading

Made in china as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Its a sky watcher 607az2 d is 60mm f is 700 mm barlow was just the standard x2 that came with it, the missus got me it as a starting point as she new i was into all things space [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

yes even after adjusting it.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so just a further update moon was out sky was clear thought id have a look through the scope, i made sure everything was all correct, when i put my barlow lens in its blurry i try to adjust but doesnt work? Should this happen? The moon was behind just peeping over some leaves, by the looks of it it made the leaves more sharper, does this sound like a faulty barlow? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Better get the missus set up to record it, its after the soaps so should be fine lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ahh ok thanks ive got bt so should have it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is it defo on free view? Do not have sky but would love to watch! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Im trying to get a closer look at the stars, using the barlow lens but get nothing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
