ZEbbEDY Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 My 200p came today from warehouse express (in stock late Friday sent out monday) . With free delivery to the Highlands, every other place wanted up to 50 quid postage which would have left me just enough to get the 150p Guess what the cl**ds are like ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZEbbEDY Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Can you carry it with the tension handles? or are you supposed to take it apart, position base then put the scope back on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexus 6 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Great deal! Hope you have some clear skies for testing it out, sorry can't advise on the handle's, never used a dob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vega Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 HiCongrats on the purchase, the skyliners are great scopes. Yes you can carry them with the handles, they are designed for this (you'll notice the sturdey sized screws). I've done this many a time with my 10" version. Sometimes a struggle cus its a beast! Enjoy your new kit, good times ahead . I recommend not putting it away through the short nights either. You can get some beautiful views of double stars through May-July despite the light nights. I found my skyliner excelled on double stars (surprisingly):-pMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
