JamesM Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hi Simon and welcome to the forum. 'Dabbling' is certainly one way to make friends for sure! Congratulations on ordering your new scope and a good decision to get the additional Right Ascension motor drive, as it is one less reason to touch the scope which can make tracking planets at high magnification a bit tricky. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions (no matter how silly you think they might be) just post under the relevant section and help will quickly follow for sure.Wishing you clear skies for the arrival of your new scope and hope you will enjoy your stay here.
