Drychnath Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Good evening, everyone. I figured that since I registered as a member on this site almost a year ago that I should probably stop by and say hello. A little bit more about myself, I live on the south side of Glasgow and have a keen interest in fly fishing, so I guess I am used to spending ages waiting for a brief glimmer.This place is amazing and the information I have found here has been invaluable. I recently took delivery of a Skywatcher Skyliner 250PX dobsonian, a decision I made based mainly on personal reviews and discussion threads here. Thanks to those posts I knew exactly what to expect in terms of size, weight and what it can deliver in terms of observing. Already it has far exceeded my best hopes.I look forward to speaking to you more in the future and maybe even getting to know some of you better.Cheers,Lee.

Never thought that I would see colour in Jupiter, let alone the amount of detail. The Orion Nebula absolutely blew me away, I cannot wait until my son is old enough to see these things with me.

HIP3802 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Hi, Lee, and welcome to SGL! The 250PX is a very nice scope. If you haven't already I would suggest a collimating tool (either 'Cheshire' or laser) as your scope will need tuning fairly often.Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
