Geoffers Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 HI all,Just joined this forum as have got my first telescope (Meade ETX 125 - Christmas pressie from my wife!)... Getting used to setting it up and I took it out last night for my first session and I was entranced by Jupiter and it's moons... Have the standard 26 mm eyepiece and a 2 x Barlow so far.I am based in north Surrey (near Leatherhead).As a bit of a tweaker, I am already thinking of changes (need to have some better method of focusing) and have some ideas on that. In the mean time I will be browsing the forum and picking up tipsGeoff.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
