Excellent first scope. If there is anything you need to know then feel to ask. I owned one for a couple of years to 'dip my toe' into astronomy. I have upgraded but still have fond memories of the 127. For a small scope it packs a punch.

Welcome to the lounge.

Hello! I have the same scope and it's a cracking piece of kit. Took me ages to get used to aligning the darn thing, certainly not as easy as Skywatcher make out! I found this on SGL which was a huge help :

I changed my finder scope to a red dot finder which I found helped a lot, and keep the the tripod legs as short as possible - reduces wobbles!!
