Hi from North Wales

[veedub1955]

Hi from North Wales I've been lurking around for a bit, my son is 15 and wants to study Astro physics in uni, he's already done his GCSE in astronomy with the school scope and just bought him his own (200p with eq5) and want to encourage him as much as possible

Welcome to both of you from Land Down Under

You cannot go far wrong with a EQ5 mount

You can also now get a WiFi adapter for the SynScan controller

Download the app

Have one, and takes the guess work out of setting GPS location, date/time, as set from your mobile device

Power source is also important for EQ mounts

I use a car jump start pack to power mine
