Hi Crumblepenny and welcome to SGL. If you are interested in filters, have a look at Lumicon`s website, lots of filters and what they are used for in Astronomy. Enjoy your new scope and the forum

Welcome to the forum, definitely a good idea getting a moon filter, I was shocked at how bright it was the first time I looked at it!

Welcome aboard, enjoy your scope

Hello Crumblepenny and welcome to SGL!!

[crumblepenny]

Thank you all so much for making me feel so welcome, I've a feeling I'll be asking for your help on more than one occasion. I've just fitted the motor drive to my telescope. It seems to be working fine but I've only viewed the moon using it. I'm not sure I have it correctly polar aligned. I pointed the polar axis due north and set the latitude indicator to our latitude - is that it, or is there something else I should have done?

Please excuse and ignore last question, I have just found the answer on this site
