Good idea if you have kids. My boy can see through the end of our refractor by bending, even for the straight up stuff. He can't reach the newt, so I have to pick him up and its not a good thing I can tell you. If your kids like looking, be prepared to not get a go with that one.

Caz, I read your posts when you had ordered your scope, I know how you were feeling now

Martin 2

Damien, thanks for the thought, when you are down this way let me know and I'll make you a nice cuppa, stop over as well if it helps.

Good decision on the scope martin. Hope you've struck a hard deal NS8 GPS scopes rule

Thanks Martin

I wanted a gps and goto as I have a nackered knee, it needs a new joint but apparently I'm to young !!!

When I'm older and all the other joints are knackered they will give me one.

I'll be needing a lot of advice when I get it up and running, as you have the same scope I hope you wont mind helping me out

Blind leading the blind mate but I am 3 or 4 weeks ahead so I have picked up a bit. You will be stunned by the views of the moon and clusters. You will get great views of Saturn but don't expect to see the same contrast or detail as you see on some of the images posted here, that sort of stuff can only really be brought out by the Registax processing.

The scope is heavy esp if your are moving it with it attached to the tripod. Perfectly manageable so long as your knee doesn't give way :? The guy in Derby will probably explain this but the top tip with these scopes is to work out how to align the mount with the tripod when you're putting it together. Basically align the little ridge between the on switch and the 12v connection with a ridge on the tripod above any of the legs- that will bring the screw holes into line. that will save you 10 mins of precarious fiddling.

I'm getting excited for you now
