Khw Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Hi everybody, I've been visiting this forum for some time now and thought I would take the plunge and join. I bought a second hand skywatcher 200p dob in perfect condition with 25m wide ep for £130 today and can't wait to get outside, alas thick cloud tonight! I really hope to get involved in this fascinating hobby and equally fascinating forum Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
