I can't afford new so I'm looking for Skywatcher refractor 72/80/102 OTA only plus I'm on the look out for a reflector but it has to be the 130PDS. Happy to collect within a couple of hours of Manchester and also willing to pay postage if further afield. Fingers crossed Damian

Hello everyone, From the clear sky capital of the UK..................................Manchester! Looking forward to talking to others and learning more, just starting Astrophotography in the New Year after mosty observing for the last year or so. I've been practicing with my phone and doing vids and then stacking them in Registax and woefuly editing them in GIMP. Got a Skywatcher Heritage 130P which I love and will be purchasing a 72ED refractor soon plus DSLR or Telescope camera (I'm yet to make my mind up) Cheers Damian
