My new Tak arrived via santa for christmas

Hi and welcome. Me used to love a "Holland's pies" pork pie. Not had one in a long while.

if you have any questions email FLO and they will advise you about the eyepieces

yup

Ken they are the same in principle but different manufacture like the one you already have so the question is what do you want, where to go from here? have you used the scope you inherited. Don't get me wrong you can get carried away with all idea's want this want that it can become a rabbit hole and how much £££ to spend. One step at a time get to know the scope you have maybe join a local club then go from there. And ask here for help. cheers

try the scope with the std lens supplied then look at https://www.firstlightoptics.com/bst-starguider-eyepieces.html they are a reasonable addition and better than the stock one's. Better to try the scope as is and then descide your way forward rathe r than throwing money away...

it's the nature of them unless you look for an image rectifying eyepiece or prism and at the price they want for these just get used to using the scope as is you soon get used to it... If looking for a great book search for "Turn left at Orion" to get you started

peter you beat me to it as i added some text to post

Ken welcome to SGL have a look at skywatchers website https://inter-static.skywatcher.com/upfiles/en_download_caty01316546551.pdf as per Ian's comments also look at https://www.opticalvision.co.uk/beginners-telescopes/skyhawk-114.html

A warm welcome from France.

sorry off topic

my staple diet at lunchtime at school was chips peas and gravy with a dollop of fish scrappings (Went home for lunch) 25p

Another warm welcome from France

For Me Astronomy Now my 2p worth

Don't ask me why but my C5 is first out maybe because it is light and on a tripod for a quick survey then bring out the other siblings if the weather plays ball

You will be surprised great piece of kit
