Bluetac Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Lo guys n gals , the wife and I have enjoyed numerous documentaries on the stars for many years, so over the last week or so we had been looking into getting a half decent second hand telescope. I found a sky-watcher 130p synscan AZ goto on Ebay and got it for £185 it came complete and even had a moon filter and 200mm eyepiece mount add on .i shall be updating the firmware on it when i get chance ( skywatchers site is down at the moment) So as to start with the latest catalogues and any improvements. I also read on here (i think it was) about the book *Turn Left at Orion* it should be with us tomorrow .i would like to beable to take pictures at some point in the future but that as i say is in the future.
