130P Flextube

If objects are blurred & you can't achieve focus no matter what, then you probably have collimation issues.

OK so i'm nearly at the point of ordering my 130P flextube and i'm just wondering if there are any good accessories i should get with it ? i was thinking a red LED torch would be handy.

Any other suggestions ?

Red torch is always handy.

I made a light shroud for my heritage which improves things noticably.

I have bought lots of things but nothing really heritage specifc. fitlers, eyepieces, cheshire collimating eyepiece etc.

Depending on how you're planning on using it, after a few weeks of use of my own, the only essential extras to date are a copy of Turn Left at Orion and a ground sheet (6x4ft - less than £2 delivered!) - my garden is a little damp at the moment and I sit on the floor to view and surround myself with the relevant bits of kit. All my other purchases are not really essential.

At some point I should probably invest in a collimating eyepiece.

Hi, i use this http://www.screwfix.com/p/hop-up-work-platform-600mm/44555 as a table for my dob 130, very stable and even folds away.

With that table do you use any kind of chair ?

No i find it easier standing up, but i haven't been observing for long periods of time only about an hour or do.
