Thankyou everyone!


Recommended Posts

Hi SGL,

I just wanted to say a big thankyou to all the people who replied to my numerous posts these past few weeks in helping me decide on my purchase.

I started with a particular brand/scope in mind but after listening to all the advice I decided on something totally different. At the end of the day, I asked for advice and I would be a very stupid man if I didn't take it! So thankyou.

My purchase in the end.......A nice shiny new 6SE with all the accessories I could afford and will initially need. Delivery should be here this afternoon (fingers crossed)

But what I am looking forward to most, is letting my children look through it, particularly at the moon later tonight. I know how it took my breath away when I first looked through a telescope 25yrs ago!

So once again, thankyou to everyone who helped in my decision and of course Steve at FLO for the friendly help and good deal with my purchase.

I will of course have a go at a first light report when I find a little time.

Regards Dean

Thanks everyone,

Well the scope arrived no problems and I have everything set up and ready to go! Few clouds tonight as to be expected but no worries as I still need to charge up the power tank anyway. This leads me to a quick question to anyone who owns the Celestron Power Tank. Mine has come with a mains charger/transformer lead but has the american style 2 pin plug. In the box also came a shaver socker adapter to our 3 pin plug. Is this what anyone else has as this doesn't seem a safe way to use it as the transformer is quite heavy and puts stress on the 2 pins when connected. I thought for the UK market this would have come where I could charge it straight from our mains with no adapter?

Any users can say what theirs came with?

Nice one Dean,

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have mine.

(I see your Powertank Q has been answered in another thread)

I'd be interested to hear how you get on as I've had mine since April this year and I'm still finding new things to learn.

CHeers

Well, this must be a first, but since I took delivery of my 6SE, 2 days ago, we have had nothing but clear skies (and it looks that way for the weekend too!)

I will get round to a first light report but what I will say is this, I looked at the moon last night and I can honestly say it was brilliant, I have seen the moon before through a cheaper scope but what got me most was the clarity of the image. Pin sharp and that was using the supplied eyepiece. It really was worth the wait and the money!

I am hoping to venture further a field tonight and see how well the sky align works so will let you know how a total beginner to GOTO manages!

So if there is anyone out there who is contemplating getting a 6SE, don't wait any longer, treat yourself (and family) they are excellent!

A very happy Dean
