richardalan Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Hello! I've just signed up at SGL this is my 1st post! I live in Bolton and have been into astronomy since last august, love it!! I have been using a celestron powerseeker 130 on a equatorial mount. The most recent object I found was the ring nebula m57, but it just looked like a smoke ring in my scope. But amazed that I actually found it! Couldn't see the nova 2013 in delphinus due to a week of cloudy skies. Managed to save up for a HEQ5 and will be getting it as soon as i can get a saturday off work!! I want to start imaging in the not too distant future, so this should be a decent start hey??

badgerchap Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Hi richardalan and welcome to SGL! An HEQ5 should be a fine place to start imaging. Good luck, and be prepared for a satisfying if somewhat uphill struggle! Everyone here is always glad to help if you have any questions Typed inexpertly from my phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
