How dare you

[robbie c 455]

Well that's it now everybody pack your scopes up it was good while it lasted

[swamp thing 5,519]

Great call. They are wonderful scopes. I have had the pleasure to look through one a few times and it never fails to impress.

You should have known better

[night vision 10]

I'll forgive you, but then I am in Devon

I hope you get a chance to enjoy your new telescope soon.

I've had some lovely views of Jupiter lately. That could make a great first target for your Skymax.

Is it ok on your EQ5?

Very much looking forward to a first light report, particularly on Lunar and Jupiter

That explains why it was cloudy last night. Normally I would complain but TBH I was glad to get a nights kip.

Congrats on the new scope Jules.

yes on EQ5 tried tal 200k on said mount and was just to heavy, but 180 pro OTA is about 5kg lighter than tal and work on EQ5 with 7kg counter weight, keep an eye out for some lunar pics over the next few weeks, weather/work permitting;)

Keep the cloud betwen the M62 & M1 please :-) (not messier objects).

Nice scope though!

[Space Beagle 54]

Nice scope!

Had one of these for a while and my EQ5 held it firmly enough for visual stuff, probably on the limit for any really serious astrophotography though!?!

I chose to sell mine on though (to 'AndyUK'), as I simply wasn't using it enough (or to it's capabilities!!)

But it's a fine scope. so have fun!

space beagle, i remember you selling your one, i was tempted at the time, im now in same situation as you having my tal rs, but i will make time to use my 180 for lunar work

[Space Beagle 54]

No doubt the 180 is a fine scope, probably too good for me at the moment, he he!

Mine has gone to a really good home where it's being put through it's paces by AndyUK.

I love the Tal 100rs, don't think i'll ever sell it tbh. Not as capable as the 180 at all really (hard to compare I know!), but I just find it so nice to use!

I think my next move will be a bigger 'light bucket' (10 or 12 inch) as I do use my 200p in it's dob base quite a lot too, but of course I'm afflicted by aperture fever like most of us on here, he he!
