I have had it a year, took about 18hrs initial charge. I use it two to four hours and then just charge overnight. I painted the white light strip red, it has two cigarette sockets. -

Is my telescope any good
Mick H replied to Neil H's topic in Getting Started General Help and Advice
Do not know if the clip is right or not, but was taken in the Philippines. Are you using the stock eye pieces or did you buy the 32mm? If stock the 32mm should be 20mm, for improved viewing use better quality eyepieces, BST Starguiders/Omni Plossl for about Β£50 or Revelation Astro PlΓΆssl's about Β£30. I would not use the 4mm as others have mentioned, and the stock 20mm I believe is plastic. -
I look forward to your results NV, good luck.

π Really good image NV, well done.

Mick H replied to RobertI's topic in The Astro Lounge
Telescopes are like fishing rods, one is not enough two is too many. π So mine is boring. Started with Binocular's then brought a NexStar 90 SLT, then brought my NexStar 8se. -
Leaving Telescope and Kit Outside (No Dome/shed)
Mick H replied to topgearuk's topic in Discussions - Scopes / Whole setups
I so nice to see Blue Tits and House Sparrows on the lining line in your garden, but you should put a table on top of your post for bird feeding. π Oops sorry Bryan, I did not have my glasses on. Nice setup Bryan. -
Well done tooth_dr, and congratulations.

I agree with Stu and CloudMagnet, the craptastic red dot that came with my scope soon got binned for a Telrad.

Yes for my NexStar 8se, I have a 32mm one which I like.
