Hello SGL...

[Tristan]

I just thought I'd say a quick hello! I bought a Skywatcher Explorer 130PM a couple of years ago and for the last 12 months or so it has been left neglected in my garage.

Recently however, I have rediscovered the beauty of the night sky again and spent hours reading threads on SGL! I quite fancy having a go at some astro photography and am considering purchasing a new scope although I haven't made my mind up yet as to what to buy! I'm quite liking the look and portability of the SkyMax 127...

Anyway, I have plenty of reading to do as I need to clean the primary mirror on my 130PM tomorrow!

Hi Tristan,

Welcome to SGL, are you sure your mirror needs cleaning??!. Before trying anything major use a photographic blower brush to shift any loose dust.
