    Hello everyone

    Hi all, This is my first post on here. I would just like to announce that (after weeks of procrastination) I have just purchased my first telescope!:D I plumped for the Celestron OMNI 120 XLT from FLO in the end and I am currently waiting delivery - Im so excited! It took me so long to decide on a scope. With my budget being £200-300, I ended up with a shortlist of 4 scopes: Skywatcher Skymax 127, Skywatcher Explorer 150, Skywatcher Dob 200p, and the celestron OMNI 120 XLT. It seemed that everyone I asked advice had a different opinion (guy from club said the dob, guy from f1 cameras said the skymax) but in then end the guy from FLO (blumming nice bloke) said that the OMNI should be high on my list as it is a bargain at £259 and should suit my needs nicely. Im looking forward to having a go at jupiter, the moon, the orion nebula and some of the Messiers. No doubt I will be bugging people with questions as I have not used an EQ mount before (although I get the principle). Im thinking I may need to invest in some more eyepieces as the omni only comes with a 25mm (and the only other ones I have came with a cheapy 3" reflector I borrowed off my brother and will prob not do the new scope justice). Does anybody have any suggestions as to what accessories I should buy to compliment the omni?? And does anybody have any nice suggestions as to what I should look for on my first proper nights observing. so excited. Warren:icon_salut:
