New scope ordered.

[paul schofield]

That's it finally ordered my new scope today from FLO. After months of umming and aahing over the Skywatcher 200p Dob and the 250p, finally settled on the 200p, I may use the extra £s on a nice E.P. Anyway ordered a Cheshire collimator too. All together £300 delivered. A big thanks to Martin at FLO also for advising me to order before the Brian Cox broadcasts next week. I am like a child looking forward to Christmas now, "only about 3 or 4 more sleeps till I get my new toy ha. And hopefully the skies should be clear as its been rubbish down here in Kent for the last month + Happy gazing all.

That's great Paul, it will give you some excellent views ...can't comment on what skies you'll get though..you know know how it goes when new kit is ordered and delivered, good luck with that

Clear Skies

Well done Paul, you made a wise decision to buy now.

[ChrisThePuma]

Good point on the flood of new scope buyers in a week or two...

[paul schofield]

New scope and Brian Cox on telly, surely it cant be cloudy. That would just be unfair.

Great to hear/read this. However, save your enthusiasm for unboxing and assembling it - this is where the fun begins

Great scope the Skywatcher 8" Dob.

It'll keep you happy for a long time.

Congrats

Excellent...................mine arrived today, after excellent reviews and recomendations it was ordered on Sunday. The same scope a 200p Dob, all assembled within an hour, with constant comments of "thats too big" from the missus, has now been moved to the shed and I`m twitching the curtains looking for a break in the clouds!!

[Rigel-7]

Are there any problems keeping a DOB in the shed - damp etc. ?

[Luke]

Congrats on the excellent purchase! May the clouds take a hike for a day or two.

Nice scope, please do not open the 'Box of Clouds' that comes with every scope. We do not want to wreck the viewing for other SGL members?

Hi all - just ordered mine yesterday from FLO aswel - looks like their getting a lot of orders at the moment - will likely turn to a flood when the TV programme starts next week.

First ever scope - hope I've done the right thing but there seems to be plenty of positive comments about this scope.

Many years of fun to be had with it!

[Rattler]

I got this scope on Saturday, my first and gave already had great views of the moon, Jupiter and it's 4 moons. I'm well impressed with it.

Congrats...

[cgonzale]

congrats! I'm currently saving up for that same scope. Can't wait to order it (soon hopefully)

[Spica]

Awsome! Just imagine when the huge box arrives, you open it, removing the plastics sheets, the bubble plastics, the styrofoam, and then... the smell and look of a brand new shiny telescope! Sweet! Almost same feeling as becoming a parent. Congrats!

Give us your first light report!

Congrats on the new scope I'm sure it'll give you great views

[Catweazel]

Congratulations on you 200P purchase! It certainly seems a popular choice, and will give you years of pleasure I'm sure.
