Alan from Acklam Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I am totally new to the world of computers and forums so please treat me kindly.I have been interested in Astronomy for many years, I started with a 60mm refractor then a4.5 inch reflector which I built myself. I now have a 200mm Skywatcher reflector on a CelestronCG5 Go To mount, just recently purchased. I am impressed with the accuracy of the Go To and caneasily pick up objects which I have never seen before with the touch of a button. I used to do quite alot of variable star work but am now enjoying just touring the heavens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
