Just ordered my first scope

[Spier24]

After a lot of back and forth, reading reviews and looking at various scopes etc. I finally settled on the Orion Starseeker IV 130.  Not much else to say except it feels pretty exciting! Now all I need is a clear night...

Congratulations! Takes a lot of deliberation I found 😎 Hope you get clear skys soon and let us know how you get on!

Indeed it was, the one thing that held me up was the non collimateble primary mirror on those scopes, Although after speaking to and reading from people who've owned these scopes I feel more assured. Happy with my choice.
