owenjsidge Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Hello all I have been stalking the forums for a week or two now ever since my 7 year old bought himself a £50 scope. We saw Jupiter with it and then we were hooked. Now we own the skymaster skyline 200p. Also just had delivered the omni Barlow x2. Low and behold since then nothing but clouds. Anyway glad to be on board we know absolutely nothing so bear with us.Owen Wigan, uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damnut Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Hi Owen,Warm welcome to SGL. Enjoy the forums. Download a planetarium program, plenty out there but try Stellarium its great and free, to be found here??... :-- http://www.stellarium.org/, it will help you round the sky. A couple of books to help are 'turn left at orion' and 'sky&telescope pocket star atlas'. Great choice of scope the 200p has a great reputation.

We are just awaiting a new part now for the finder scope as an o-ring was missing so we are having to wing it a bit at the moment which is frustrating.Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
