Greetings from Glasgow

Hello Lee and welcome to SGL!!

[Lorne]

Hiya, welcome to SGL

Check out the Central Scotland forum, google "CSOG" a more local forum where observing meets are arranged - usually at short notice - thoughout the central belt, theres a good few members in the Glasgow area, if you go to the meets you will get a chance to see and try any upgrades, ie, eyepieces etc. you might be thinking of.

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.

Hi Martin, one step ahead of you there, ordered the Cheshire delux model from FLO along with the scope. Now reading and watching as many instructions as I can find, Astrobaby's guide to collimation is next on the list.

Thanks for the heads up Lorne, will definitely look into this at some point.

Thanks to everyone for the very warm welcome.

Hi Doug, this is so very true. In my case I waited for a week for clear skies and if the weather reports are to be believed I will have waited another week for the 2nd outing.

Hi and welcome

I'm also in the southside of Glasgow. Tried to arrange a Glasgow meet a couple of months back but the clouds knew what we were up to and refused to budge
