I am somewhat of a novice but keen to get started & gain some experience. The forum is brilliant for advice and I expect to be posting a few questions soon. I have a meade 5" refractor & HEQ5 mount which I have not managed to use in a goto mode [still in the learning curve]. I just need to get out there and do my best.

Cheers,
