PontyAstro Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hi all been in to astronomy for a few years now, started off with a skywatcher 130p reflector. I now have a Konus motormax 130 2000mm on an eq2 mount that I can't get on with so was thinking of buying a skywatcher synscan as GOTO, 102 1300mm to go with my butcherd 4" spotting scope. Which I use more than the Konus, going for the 102 as had good reviews and good video on YouTube and of course that killer the budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m37 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Welcome (again) ! Check out the Celestron equivalent, bit more but slightly more flexible software on a couple of points I've been banging on about lately. EQ mode and more universally recognised driver wise.

m37 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Oh well order placed :-) synscan 102 with power lead and just remembered bank holiday Monday agghhhhh...lolYou'll get on great, it's a cracking bit of kit. Once you get set up (can be a bit tricky but people here can help) you'll absolutely love it. I get on so much better with Synscan AZ than I used to with a manual EQ mount. Just seemed to click better with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PontyAstro Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Oh well the power cable arrived this morning first class. Checked tracking on fed x and discovered it was in Cardiff! Big kid in me couldn't wait until Tuesday/Wednesday so I phoned up and went down to collect it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
