Spec-Chum Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2I'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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
