Hi John, Welcome to SGL!

What type of scope is the "beast" - refractor, reflector, SCT?

Alan

Hi Alan, It's a reflector, been unused and in a garage for over 10 years, bit rusty and in need of a clean but stripped it down yesterday and the optics look good. here's hoping for clear sky's. John

Hi John,

Warm welcome to SGL. There is a local group to you , East Midlands Stargazers, can be found here :-- http://www.eastmidla...rgazers.org.uk/... We are a friendly lot and have two dark sites, one at Belper and the other at Wymeswold.

If you have not already done so, try a download of Stellarium a planetarium program, its free and can be found here :-- http://www.stellarium.org/

Hi,

Thanks for the links, will check them out, Wymeswold is not to far from me and my mate has a pub nearby.
