Hi there,

So pleased - yesterday my telescope arrived SKY-WATCHER 130/900 RA MOTOR EQ2...so excited I was running around the living room like a headless chicken - I wanted to open all the boxes at the same time...But eventually I calmed down and put it together...that thing its huge but a very nice piece of kit. 

Find attached some images from the box to the finished product.

Thanks folks.

NOW WAITING FOR CLEAR SKIES.

   Hey, that's a nice cloud attractor . Let us know how your "first light" (first time out with it) went

[ede szabo]

Since I bought it haven't seen the sky only clouds...sorry tonight is clear but very windy - 25-30 mph.

hope soon CLEAR SKIES.

Nice set up Ede - reminds me of when I opened my first scope - not so very long ago. Congrats!

Lol Binge - I only started this lark 5 or 6 years ago - pretty recent compared with the guys who've been at it since they were 12.

[Mr Q]

  Like  myself at 66. Started at around 10 and still learning a thing or two

  Now, if only Ede ordered a special cloud filter with that scope and maybe a thermal suit with a nice windbreaker, he'd be out there already and gasping at what he was seeing

I too would like a cloud filter. Could someone let me know stockists?

They're on backorder :-)

[Mr Q]

   Didn't you know most telescopes come with one? Its that black plastic thing that fits over the end of the tube. Once on, the skies will be VERY dark regardless of how much cloud you have

Congrats, i know the feeling. Currently waiting for my first scope. I properly check the tracking every 5 minutes just to find out nothing has happened. The waiting is killing me!

[Robbo AR]

So jealous 

Hopefully my goodies will arrive this weekend. Congratulations matey - looks real good

Wow, You pup! 

It just goes to show, age isn't everything, it's experience that counts! There's a backhanded compliment in there somewhere.
