Hello (again!)

[-philip-]

Hi, it's been a while - so much so I can't remember previous account log in details damn it.

I live in Devon, I enjoy astronomy although when I think about the distances etc my mind implodes a little.

I started with a 200p manual DOB which I loved, I replaced it with a 250 DOB with Goto which I don't love so much (I've struggled with Goto and how much of a beast it is to move around), and I've just bought a SkyMax 127 mak AZ-GTi WiFi which should be arriving on Monday. I've used my telescope much less since I bought the 250p Goto, I think I've been a bit scared of it! So the more portable 127 I am hoping to take on camping trips and up into Dartmoor.

Anyway greetings from Broadclyst.

Hi and welcome back to SGL. Would love to hear your opinion on the new scope.

Welcome! I spent too long running around Dartmoor to ever return for a camping trip - but I imagine the sky’s would be lovely. Whenever I was there I was very wet and scratched from crawling through gorse bushes 😂

Hi, Philip, and welcome back to SGL.

I know what you mean about the 250 dob - used to own one and found it totally unmanageable. A move to a smaller one made all the difference. The best scope, as they say, is the one that gathers photons rather than just dust!

Enjoy the journey.
