Hi Marty. I have the 127skymax on eq 3-2 and it feels perfect. I have took some fantastic photos of the moon with my canon 800d. I also took pictures of venus. I have no software just my camera on my scope, then to my phone then on to instagram. Fair enough venus looked like a white blob but it's still venus. But the pictures of the moon was breathtaking. Good luck and have fun.

I used to live in Heanor too 😊👍

Hello and thank you for your response. I have orderd the Beesser refractor 102 600 focal lengh from FLO. I'm going to mount it on my skaywatcher az5. I also have the GTI go to mount what I could use, I kind of regret buying that because I don't have much look with technology, I'm hoping it works properly. Anyway thank you for your advice

Hello mate. I'm new too. I'm from Derbyshire. I've been learning about astronomy since a kid too but I'm finding these forums and mobile phones harder to learn to use than astronomy 🤪🤣. Welcome my friend

Thank you for your replies 😊

Hello. Thoughts on Bresser reflectors. Ive been looking at the 150mm dobsonian table top. Anyone owned a Bresser? If so are they of good quality? Thank you. 😊

Brilliant and well done. Wait till you see saturn, you will never forget the first time you see saturn.

Thanks guys. Yes I have thought about a dobsonian but the concrete on our garden isn't that even as it slopes a bit. I might go for the startravel 102 then I can put it on my az5 mount. I have my super power with my mak so I'm after something to hopefully scan a few galaxy's and nebula, I know it will be very limited though

I could swap over the 127mak and use the eq 3-2 but I guess it's the same scope but in a shorter version.

Thank you for that. I'm torn between the 72ed and the 120 evo I just feel like I'm getting more scope for my money with the 120 but I guess my 127 mak can do everything what that can do. Also I'd use the 72ed more as it's much smaller. These decisions are very hard 🤣

Hello freindly people . I am new to this forum, just joined and I would like to ask a question. I have a skymax127 with up gradedvixen and ovl Eyepieces and an up graded dialectic star diagonal and it gives me breathtaking views of the moon, even with the magnification pushed beyond the limit and I've took some nice pictures of it too. I am looking for another scope because I realise the mak is a specialist scope for moon and planets. Now money is a issue for me so I can't afford much as it's taken me months to pay for my mak set up. But I could just about stretch to the skywatcher 72ed if need be, but then I will have to buy a 2inch diagonal and 2 inch eye pieces? I'm I right? Also i love the look of the evo 120, looks abeast of a scope, but I'm guessing it will give the same performance as the mak but 4ft longer in size. I would just like something with a bit bigger field of view for some galaxy and nebula. Not to deep though because the skys around here aren't the darkest. I've looked at the startravel 120 but I've read good and bad things about them. My other tripod is the skywatcher az5 mount so the ota has to be side mounted. Sorry about the long message (question)
