Anticipation then expectations met.

My explorer arrived yesterday and tonight I set it up ready to observe. Clear skies here in North Wales and just wanted to get it commissioned. Had initial trouble with not reaching focus but had bits and bobs in my spares box from my Dob a few years ago. Managed to get reasonable views of Saturn with my Williams 6 mm eyepiece. I then pushed my luck with a vixen SLV 4mm not crisp but Very pleased with the first lights from this scope. I now need some extension control knob cables to make life easy and then make a better job of the temporary handle I put on the saddle. Really looking forward to observing this winter

It sure looks great. Happy observing!

It looks a beauty, you'll have some fun with that this winter, I'm looking forward to my first dark sky seasons as a scope owner. Clear skies
