Thankyou so much.

Right ok thankyou

So have the scope so it’s level horizontally at first?

Ahhh yes. So looking at the picture the back faces north?

Thanks! Just checked my tripod and there’s no N for which way to put my scope

Ok thankyou all very much for your help! I’m gonna go try it out tonight 😬

Don’t think I’m going to be able to go out tonight. The sky is black. Going to get some bad weather I think 💭

So when I’ve set the latitude I just move the scope left and right rather than up and down and I will find things that way? Because I find myself moving it left to right and up and down and I can never find anything in the sky’

Ok I will try that. Thankyou. One more question. Im mot really sure how to align my scope to Polaris so. If I just set the latitude to 53.3 would that not be suffice?

Does everybody use theirs during the day or night? Is it better to do it at night when your a beginner?

Thankyou everybody for your help and advice over the past few days. I really appreciate it. Although I’m getting frustrated I am going to sit down with it later and try to align it to Polaris etc. Suppose it’s just one of things that take time to get use to. I will stick to it

Thankyou. Did you get frustrated at the start too?

Oh Thankyou very much Carole

Okay thankyou

Ahhh right ok. I’m not sure. Just ordered a 9mm haha. I know it was £35

Oh Thankyou! Il join that! I know. I don’t usually give in to anything and I’ve been wanting a telescope for years! Think is with me i need somebody to show me on my actual scope what to do then il get the hang of it properly! But unfortunately I don’t know anybody that’s into them! At least I saw Venus haha. But another question: I used my 20mm in my Barlow when I’d found it without my Barlow. Would my 9mm be better on its own? To view Venus?

Just checked for clubs. There’s none around my area. But to be fair its a shitty place to live. Lol

Forgot to mention... I did also purchase a 9mm eye piece

Haha. Okay thankyou! I am not sure if the do local clubs around where I live?

Haha. Forensic science

I’m going to look into buying more expensive bits and bobs if I can get into it properly. I’m not giving up yet

I always said I was going to love to America when I got my degree. Think il Give that a miss now though

Well hope your settled now anyway.

No I don’t think they do. I checked all photos on google and couldn’t see any

Wow! Cool! Bet you’ve seen some good sights! I’m only 10 mins from warrington!
