Thanks John . You seem to help me with all my problems great to know you can get all the help you need here on SGL.

Hi all at SGL. I managed to take my 12"skywatcher dob out for first time tonight such a clear night but a bit of dew. I managed to find m31 and m81 m82 a ball of light and a grey cloud around it.i was using skywatcher 28mm wide field it worked great. But when I tried using other eyepieces I could not focus just white with the spider vanes I tried 25mm 10mm 9mm seemed like the focus would not zoom in anymore. When I tried a 5mm I couldn't even see any stars. I even tried them on Jupiter and Saturn with no luck but with the 28mm Jupiter and 5 moons was nice. I know the eyepieces aren't top quality but any help why I couldn't focus would help thanks

Thanks

Any advice on a good range of ep for an f5 but not too expensive

Collinmation looks ok round dot in the centre is in the middle of my secondary mirror and I can see the 3 clips holding the primary mirror

Hi everyone I quite new at this. I have an 12"skywatcher dob haven't had chance to use it yet weather sucks in Ireland. Had a few hours break in the weather during the day so I thought I adjust the finder scope. I picked an object and adjusted finder scope to what I see in ep. Ep was an celestron 9mm omni plossol . The image was crystal clear in the centre but was blurred around the sides has anyone have an idea why this is I would appreciate your help thanks

Thanks john

Hi all at SGL Can anyone give me advice on what filters and ep to use to get a better view of nebula and which ones are best to view

Thankyou for your post jacobingonzo I'm in Ireland the site I'm buying from is called done deal there is pictures and specs on it to look at

Thankyou all for your help

It has a custom made trolley I only want it for my garden as I live in rural Ireland no need to travel dark skies storage is no problem

It's a solid tube but weight or storage is no problem

Is it worth buying an 12" skywatcher dob for £680
