lol..... what an epic !!!!!!
It's taken me about 2.5 hours on & off to go through all 23 pages of this thread.... but worth it.... thnx everyone.... I've now ordered a pre-flashed camera & IR/UR filter from Morgan's & the nosepiece from Wayne
I think I've got the instructions pages bookmarked...... so tired now, can hardly keep my eyes open.....
Will have to wait now until the come & hopefully I'll be able to get some imagery off my Skywatcher Exploer 130P at last....... (tried a Cannon DSLR before but not enough back focus [or whatever] on my scope).

Hi All,
Just joined site as advised by Brett :-) looking at a few of the comments he was right that it's a friendly place :-)
I'm getting into astronomy really because of my son, who's expressed on interest in it. It's good he's expressed this as normally he's sat in front of the TV or on his Xbox.
I've been out & bought what I've been advised is a good starter scope (although reading one of the posts here it advises against buying anything immediately, but hey-ho, I've got it now).
I've bought a Skywatcher Explorer 130p AZ goto, hopefully making it easier to work with, with the boy. I got it from Steve at FLO, who was very nice (although he's got a v.bad cold at the moment) & it came the next day, so top marks to FLO's for service :-)
I'm looking to set it up tonight (hoping sky around Leics is clearish).
Any hints/tips about setup would be greatly appreciated.
Philips SPC880NC is now.......

Hi All,
Been a while since I read through all tha pages & can't remember which one I've seen an offer from someone helping out with the soldering mod to the camera....... is that offer still on the table as I'm quite cack-handed at delicate stuff like that....
PM me if still on........
