Oldtimer

Great advise especially not rushing to sell as the sky here is looking like a good clear sky.I also need to new box to box up the old telescope for selling.

Thanks to the advise on viewing problems from yourselves and with the never ending help from Adam at RVO (16 emails .) I am now waiting on a supply of Skywatcher Skymark 127 with Goto to come into stock and then hopefully I will be placing an advert for my complete 6 months old Skywatcher 130/900 for sale. ( When I figure out how to place the advert first.) Thanks again all for your help and advise.

Thank you for that advise and information . Interesting times ahead

Thank you all so far for the comments and advise From the comments it might help by giving you some more information. I am using a Reddot finder and also a Telrad I have replaced all the eye pieces supplied with my package I use a Collins Planispire and a Clestrion Sky Map On my mobile phone I have downloaded Skyview /Skymap/Skysafari and from the advise given from a comment I today have downloaded the Stellarium app but I will have to wait for some better weather in the S/E before trying it out. Sorry if I missed out on some of the comments but did one say I needed a dove tail on my EQ2 mount to use Goto and what is a Dovetail ? And can I still keep using my S/W 130/900 with a Goto added and replace my tripod or can my existing tripod be adapted to suit.? Thanks again for your help and I will update on any developments

Hello New member Old timer here I have recently retired from work and was bought a Skywatcher 130/900 Eq2 reflector telescope as a farewell present. Despite lots of trying all I have to been able to locate is great views of the moon. I am considering buying a Goto system but do I need to start again with all new equipment or can i just buy a new tripod that is comparable or and attachment for my old tripod.
