Hello from sheffield

[CT1]

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!!

The 130p is a capable little scope. An excellent instrument for the size and price.

Welcome to SGL. It's good to have you on board!

Welcome to the forum Carl.

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.

Thanks everyone!! Seems like a really friendly place and lots of sheffielders lol. Really want a clear night now. Please sky be clear!!

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 forum
