  1. Hi and welcome to SGL David.
  2. https://www.rothervalleyoptics.co.uk/skywatcher-2-dual-speed-crayford-focuser-for-explorer-models.html. This is the link for the focuser upgrade.
  3. I built my own focusers which wasn’t difficult and they cost around £25.00. If you would like details send me a PM and I will let you have my list of parts. If you need remote control my motor focusers will not be suitable unless you can figure it out yourself.
  4. Hi and welcome to SGL. You could upgrade to a dual speed focuser which would make a great improvement.
  5. Hi Bobbie, welcome to SGL.
  6. Hi and welcome to SGL. I recommend you go to the Getting Started with Observing section and read “What can I expect to see” before you start buying more gear. Enjoy your journey.

    Hi

    Hi and welcome to SGL.
  13. I have only owned one EQ Mount which I didn’t keep for very long as I saw no benefit for visual use. My mounts now are Skywatcher AZ5 on a stainless steel tripod, a Celestron Nexstar 130 SLT and a Skywatcher SynScan Az Mount and they are all used (weather permitting) 🙄and I am satisfied with all of them. The one thing I would recommend is to get a reasonable sturdy mount or an electric focuser.

    Hi all

    Hi and welcome to SGL.
  15. http://raintoday.weatherpro.de/lang/en.html Here is the link.
  16. I have an app that only predicts weather conditions for the next 2 hours. Trying to predict conditions beyond that is only guesswork IMO.
