  1. re skywatcher 200p Hello all, seasons greetings just got my 200p and see on u tube a bracket for a compact camera [ astro engineering ph047 ] I noticed the video is quite old and i'm finding it hard to track down. does anyone know if this is still available or of an alternative. thanks in advance
  2. If I was to go for skywatcher 150p or a 200p can I put a motor on it to track in the future.I am a complete novice and never even looked through a telescope so please bear with me
  3. That was the first telescope I looked at, my sensible side says save a load of money get that and if you like it move on from there.

  5. Thanks, your right about this site, some great points made, This is where I'm at, After 2 weeks on utube etc getting confused I have been recommended a skywatcher explorer 130p syn and then then advised to look at something around 200mm, so I thought I would go down the middle and the skywatcher explorer 150p came up with good reviews just spoke to a shop, They said the 150p apart from the extra app has a far better mount than the 130p
  6. Thanks for that, after looking into this for a couple of days I did come to the conclusion that with the £ I'm looking to spend I should put the £ into the telescope rather than gadgets which was a skywatcher heritage 130p, then I got my head turned by synscan etc, now you have turned me back to a dob. If I got the skywatcher skyliner 200p or the equivalent starsense I would save £ and get a better view, I'll have a look now
  7. Good call, thanks, what would you choose
  8. Forgetting all about photography for now, do you think it's worth paying extra for the skywatcher explorer 150p synscan over the 130p, is there much difference , I started looking at telescopes for about £150 last week, it's now gone up to £550, I need to draw the line somewhere.
  9. This is the trouble, I haven't got a clue about telescopes and all I wanted to do is look at a few stars, my mind changes every 5 minutes, I was going to order the skywatcher explorer 150p synscan tomorrow, I live in the middle of nowhere with hardly any light pollution, Is this a bad move, thanks everyone
  10. Thanks for a the advise, so you think something like a skywatcher skyliner 200p dob would be better, As a complete novice having never used a telescope before are dob mounted telescopes easy to track because from what I can see they have no slow motion levers

  12. Thanks for reply, the telescope would be stored upstairs when not in use, the SW150p doesn't look to bulky compaired to the dob mounted ones, it also has capacity to take a camera which is something I would like to do once I've got a bit of experience
  13. I've been looking to buy my 1st telescope, I've trawled the web and uTube and I'm now more confused, I've been recommend a skywatcher explorer 130p, another person said to look for something around 8in. I've just seen a skywatcher explorer 150p, which I like the look of,is there much difference between 130 and 150 and should I go for motorised.any advise would be appropriate,thanks
