Kynaston Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I have been interested in astronomy for 65 years and have been an active member of an astronomy society since I retired in 2001. I then bought a small Meade 70mm refractor with the inevitable go-to which, unfortunately, got damaged by somebody rocking the tube when it was locked. Ah, well !!!! I now have a SkyWatcher 1145 reflector, a SkyWatcher 127 SynScan and have just got a SkyWatcher 6" Pro Matsukov Cassegrain, of which I have to get the EQ5 mount motorised.... or shall I leave it as a manual mount, he said????? Still, that`s me. I look forward to chatting to like minded people on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kynaston Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Thanks all for the welcome messages. Faulksy, I have only been an active astronomer for about seven years although it`s a long term interest. I don`t do imaging; I just like observing. Things actually seen with the eye are incredible; I leave it to those whose skills and equipment are better than mine for the images. And JBM1165; are you interested in WW2 aeroplanes, or just the Hurricane? Now, a quick question for somebody. Does anybody know how to remove the objective lens on a Zeiss Telementor 2?? All answers gratefully received. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
