Skywatcher Skyliner 200p Unboxing & Assembling

[AstroLuke]

Hi everyone!

Today was the day! My new scope arrived from Germany. I got 2 different packages, 1 containing the telescope it self, and 1 containing the mount.

At first it was a bit confusing. The manual i found was in german. Eventhough i know some german i still was a bit unsure, after a bit i found an

english menual in one of the boxes.

It was pretty hard to assemble the mount. When i had to attach the top of the mount to the bottom i need to turn everything over,

but the mount could not stand by it self on the head. I finaly found out that i could put it on my bed without it falling over.

After a couple of hours i was done.

Manual: 2/5 (Manual missed some part and pictures were a bit unclear)

Assembling: 3/5 (Assembling was pretty hard, but i am not very handy so thats probably why)

Telescope and accesories: 5/5 (Everything was there, looked nice and shiny. NO CHEAP GARBAGE)

Packaging: 5/5 (Everything fitted nicely in a relative little amount of space. Alot of bubblestuff to make sure nothing happened)

So now im am waiting for tonight. Hopefully it will be clear

Happy New scope :-) I have the 200p so I know you will get some stunning crisp views :-))

p.s

Did one of the boxes contain Clouds? Mine did, 3 nights of them!
