Hi

I have two large boxes sitting in my hall containing my Skywatcher Explorer 200p EQ5 GOTO!  Eeek this is my first telescope - kindly bought by my husband and kids for my 50th birthday next week.  I've been reading and watching videos about alignment and balancing and axis and polaris..... and one day soon I may even open the boxes!!  LOL!

Hi and welcome, that's a really good start and may even mean you're not tempted to spend more on goodies for ooh at least 10 minutes.

Hi and welcome to SGL - I remember keeping all of my kit in the box for 10 months as I was too scared to open them as it all looked so difficult

Look forward to seeing you around and good luck

Hi tad2106 and welcome to the lounge, great scope, just watch out for the free box of clouds included with all new scopes, if you let them out it will be days before you get 'first light'

Hello and a warm welcome, i have one of those but without the GOTO, when i first got it i put it together and then took it apart a few times in the house to get used to it. after a couple of goes it is quite easy.  Hope you enjoy it and have great fun.
