Afternoon everyone!

Just placed an order with FLO for my SW 200p!! can't wait! Traded a few emails with SteveB, what a great help. Answered all my questions within 5-10 minutes of asking them.

What to look at first....

Thanks for all your help, as usual!

Ooh, 200p, nice scope!

Welcome to the dob mob!

I'd recommend a Cheshire collimator and a copy of turn left at Orion first. Use the supplied eyepieces for a while first, don't be tempted to buy more yet, they're honestly not that bad.

The dob mob? Haha I like it!

I've ordered a copy of turn left at Orion and just about to order the Cheshire collimator. I've been looking at getting a 2x Barlow later on too!

Thank you for the reply!

Cheapest tip for a dob is ...

Let it cool down to match outside temp !

I've learned that off here! Knowing my luck, it'll be clear and when it comes to using it 20-40 minutes later it'll be cloudy!

Thanks for the help! Much appreciated!

Haha! It is! It is! Not had chance to open it yet! It's still in the box! FLOs' delivery times are amazing! I ordered it on Thursday and FedEx arrived Friday at 10:20!

As soon as I've had a go with it, I'll post!

Thanks again for all your help and time!

I did the same Ordered Wednesday and it came Thursday

It really is a brilliant scope and the stock eps are not that bad, I find myself using the 25mm far far more than the 10mm.

Try get a peek at M13 or The Andromeda Galaxy pretty easy to find using Turn Left At Orion.

Happy hunting and keep us updated
