Celestron Starsense from a fellow SGLer pick it up tomorrow.

You landed yourself a bargain. He’s not had the scope long and it will be in great condition. I’m sure that you’ll enjoy it.

You'll love it Wookie.  The StarSense Explorer facility makes it a real game changer for quickly finding objects.  I presume you've probably  read Ade Ashford's review in the Oct AN?  

I have had the 8inch since early July, and everything Ade says is spot on.  I'll look forward to hearing how you get on with it.

Not even had it out yet weather been awful

 

I hope it's clear for you soon.  The good thing is that when you do have some clear sky, you'll spend most of the time actually observing - rather than searching for objects.  The SS facility makes a huge difference even to anyone who is used to finding objects by finders and star hopping. 😊

At Kelling I demonstrated the system to a few sceptical observers who were truly astonished how well it works.

Just hope I can set it up accurately there was no instructions for the set up of it, I have read online to set it up during the day. I would of thought it would be better on a bright star or as Jupiter is high that would be more accurate.
