Monty69 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Evening all, after several months of deliberating I've finally took the plunge and bought my first telescope. Opted for Skywatcher 200P Dobsonian but not had a chance to use it yet. Been browsing through SGL forums and finding plenty of good tips and info. Here's to many clear nights. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Boesen Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Welcome to the forum! Your choice of scope is great! I've had the 250 version of the same scope for a long time now and it never disappoints. I hope you'll have a chance to test it out soon;) Victor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daf1983 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Hi Monty, welcome to sgl. I'm also a complete beginner and recently bought the same scope. I've managed to take it out about 5 times and have been really impressed! After struggling for the first couple of session I invested in a telrad, which makes life a lot easier. Hope you have some clear skies soon. Dafydd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Top Miguel Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Hi Monty, Great scope shipmate, I’m a newbie too and only had a few clear nights/very early mornings (2am) since I bought my first scope. SGL is a great place for help, advice and friendly chit chat. Hope you get a clear night soon. Clear Skies 🤞🏻Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
