Hi Matt, Let me know how you get on with your new EPs, Was going to look at Jupiter last night put out of my view, I've looked at it through my 10 x 50's and i could see four of it's moons (this was about 2 weeks ago). and it was great!. have you looked at Pleiades yet. that as to be my most favourite, there's something mystical about it and i think everyone on the planet as been drawn to it at some time.

Hi Davidvalentine..Yeah its a great scope, funny thing is a was going to get a mak... then a Celestron Omni XLT 120 (Which i think would be good for planets with my budget), But decided that a 200mm Aperture would be king lol, When it arrived though i did have reservations, first i thought HELL!!! thats big, not very portable maybe the Omni XLT would have been better for me. But very pleased with the 200P, And maybe later get the Omni too. Vince

I think the Skwatcher 200P (EQ5) is a great scope. Have you tried collimating it? When I had optical problems, it was he collimation that was the problem. You can see my review at http://www.skywatcher200p.com/ and I honestly think is is an amazing telescope.
