CT1 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hi everyone. Im carl from sheffield. Hopefully if the shop is open in the morning i will be buying my first telescope. I am buying the skywatcher 130p heritage flextube. I know its not the best, but for the price it seems good enough for my first telescope. I was about to buy a telescope from jessops, but i waited and im really glad i did. The telescope in jessops was about £100 and the skywatcher is around £140, so i think its worth the extra money. Anyway i really enjoy this site and maybe tomorrow i will be using my new telescope.... Really excited by the way!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul schofield Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hello and welcome to SGL. The 130p is a very respectable scope to be starting off with and it has great feedback on here. I had the 130p EQ2 version and it was excellent. Good luck and lots of clear skies too.Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesM Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hi Carl and welcome to the forum. I'm glad you bought the Skywatcher scope rather than the Jessops and it is by far much better value and good performer to boot!Wishing you clear skies soon and hope you enjoy the forumJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
