Hello

[SteveT]

Hi, new member here. I have just arranged to purchase a CGEM 925 (XLT) to dip my toes into astronomy. I have almost no previous experience but am learning quick - I thought I would get a decent setup from the start so I dont get early upgraditis. You never know, once I learn my way around I might try some AP down the line.

My only frustration now is that I may have to wait until late April for stock to arrive .

Spoke to Martin at FLO today, nice genuine bloke to deal with !

Look forward to learning some great tips.

Hi Steve and welcome to the forum. Congratulations on the scope and yes, start as you mean to go on but if you think you have cured aperture fever....hmmmmm I have my doubts!:D

Clear skies for its arrival.

hi and welcome ,yes scopes are hard to track down at the min,

[SteveT]

Thanks for all of your welcomes. Watch out for all of the stupid questions in the coming weeks !

Whats the current prefered weapon of choice for DS AP then ? assuming I can use the C925 as a guide ?

May as well start researching that while I wait.

I am near the New Forest, hampshire by the way.

Hi again Steve, if you are intending to slip over to the dark side eventually, a copy of Every Photon counts will help guide you down this path, also any questions on this subject you may have a better response in the imaging sections, a brief answer to your inquiry though, a lot of AP for DSO has been done with an 80mm apo refractor side mounted or piggybacked to the main scope on mostly an EQ6 with guiding

John.
