1st telescope: Skywatcher Explorer 130P SynScan AZ GOTO :-)

[Lana]

Hi There! Just thought I would share that I am now the owner of one Skywatcher Explorer 130P SynScan AZ GOTO, for my first telescope! just put all the bits together last night hee hee eventually managed and now it is standing in my spare room waiting to be used, just have to work out what to do with it now ..... hoping to go to the Newcastle Astronomical Society meeting on Thursday so hopefully a kind soul may help me on my first outing some time as I will hopefully be joining the observing group

Any hoo just thought I would share as I am very excited to have purchased a telescope finally, currently just walking around it and staring at it thinking what the hell do I do now

peace out

lol, snap Lana. I had first light with my new Celestron Nexstar 130SLT last night. Got a lovely view of Saturn and a couple of its moons from my back garden in Fenham. I'll be heading out again in 5 mins or so. Get yourself in your back garden and have a look!
