  1. Finally got to use my CC6 this evening and while I was impressed with the clarity of the views it took ages to settle. It is mounted on a AZ5 with the stainless steel tripod which theoretically should be fine. Does anyone have any suggestions please, any input would be very welcome.
  2. I have had my 200P Dobsonian for about 2years and it has been an excellent choice IMO. It is very versatile and easy to use giving great views. As I only observe I can’t offer any advice on AP.
  3. Just received in the post, looks very impressive.

    Hi all...

    Hi Jason, welcome to SGL, enjoy the journey.
  6. Hi Katie, welcome to SGL. The most important thing you need for this hobby is patience, and you still have your gift voucher 😀
  7. I have had my CC6 for over 1 month and have not yet used it apart from lining up the finder. Talk about frustration 🙄

    Hello again !

    Hi Chris, welcome back to SGL.
  10. Hi Dave, welcome to SGL.
  11. It must be an individual preference as my eyes are fine looking at the moon in its waxing stages and I don’t need a filter, but when it approaches half moon it is far too bright for my eyes.
  12. I don’t think the SW focuser comes with a pulley wheel but I think I have a spare one if it would be of any use to you.
  13. You might have to look at some of the more expensive focusers.
  14. Hi Derek, welcome to SGL. I am only in to observing but you will find lots of very knowledgeable and friendly members here who are more than willing to help.

    Hello!

    Hi Katie, welcome to SGL, a lot of us have to put up with light pollution, but the rare clear nights are worth it.
  16. Waiting at traffic lights outside a local radio station location it amused me when the weather forecaster said “dry with sunny intervals” when the rain was bouncing off the pavement. 🙄
  17. I remember years ago an elderly gentleman I knew told me “the only accurate way to know what the weather will do is Look Out The Window.
  18. A lot of people are disappointed with the magnification of 6” telescopes, imagine what it would be with one of these 🙁
