First scope!

[Keagle]

With many thanks to Anthony, I now have my first scope! And it's a clear night tonight...just trying to convince Dad that school tomorrow really isn't that important.

Well done - I am insanely jealous of your EQ6

Good luck tonight - just promise your dad you'll do the washing up for a week - that normally works

Cheers,

Richie

Thanks guys! Had it out last night - didn't bother with alignment so just looked at stuff that seemed neato. It's excellent! Had a go at collimating earlier - given how much I've moved it the collimation was good anyway. Hopefully will get it out properly soon.
