Love my Heritage!

Quick session last night with my new Heritage 150 p. Previous session moon was great. This time only looked at Pleiades. Got entire cluster in fov with only a 32 mm plossl. Lovely view. Can’t wait to get this little guy to a dark site for some wide field dso observing! Totally love this scope!

Glad you’re enjoying your new scope - keep the report coming!

Brilliant scope, fully understood why you like it so much👍
 

When you’re able to have a longer session at a dark site one thing to beware of is the dewing up of the mirrors, especially the exposed secondary.  
 

A couple of ways to combat the dewing-   An electric dew gun (portable hair drier), a shroud around the extending part of the tube.

Enjoy the great views and maybe let us know what you saw😁

Cheers from across the pond, Ed.

Thanks! Yep, already made the dew shield as well as light shroud and setting circle so I’m ready to go ! Clear skies!

These are such good value, and great performing scopes as you’ve found @tripleped. I’ve had the 130p before and now have a 150p and think they are great. Surprisingly good optics for what is supposedly a beginner’s scope 👍

The first time I managed to see The Veil was with a Heritage 130p that I was babysitting while a bro-in-law moved house. So your 150p will be correspondingly better, I’m not surprised you like it.

If @JeremyS wasn’t so selfish (😉) as to live outside Ireland I’d have snapped his one up when it was for sale. In fact an H150 is very likely to be my next scope: I’m missing a fast 6” in my inventory.

Cheers, Magnus
