Jocarl011 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hi all, Just signed up after reading so many posts I was directed to from Google! My name is Carl and I have just bought my first scope in 12 years a Celestron Nexstar 127 goto scope and looking forward to rejoining the hobby, I used to have a skywatcher explorer 200 back in 2003 and enjoyed it for 6 months before selling it on, I just had no time for the hobby even though I had so many plans such as photography... I have already bought a modified Logitech pro 4000, 10m pc control cable, Celestron zoom lens, Bahtinov mask and some vibration pads. Oh and bought the Celestron gps unit which cost a fortune! Looking forward to trying it all out should be receiving the scope tomorrow. Carl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronin Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 In case it is useful I guess your nearest club will be Kendal, the others appear to be more Northern Cumbria.You should have access to some dark locations but I bet they are also cloudy ones as well. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glowjet Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hi Carl and welcome to SGL, enjoy your new scope when it arrives. As you had a 200mm Dob some years back, you may find a big difference in the smaller aperture of the new scope, the added advantages of goto will, however, make a big difference in finding your targets. Enjoy the forum and your return to Astronomy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
