Orange Smartie Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Hello, thought I'd join rather than just lurking and reading all the useful info. I'm a recent return to the world of astronomy having bought a 114mm Newtonian on an equatorial mount some 25 years ago (what a mistake that was!) and being lucky enough to get a Heritage flextube 150p very recently. I've seen more with that dobsonian in about 3 nights than I ever managed to see with the smaller reflector. Clear skies are forecast for me tonight! Can't wait.

Tiny Clanger Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Welcome Pete, It is a great little scope isn't it ? I'm hoping to spend some quality time outside with mine tonight too ! Heather 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Smartie Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Thanks for the welcome, Yes it's amazing. We had a short break in the cloud that lasted maybe 1 hour last weekend and because the scope is so small and portable, it was worth setting up just for that. That would NOT have happened with my 25kg lump, I can promise you! Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonb Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Yep welcome, and congrats on having Heather's favourite scope! I think we're all getting a little hopeful of clear skies this evening! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
