Starting Again With Astronomy

[JDT81]

Hi All, 

Just to say hi after getting back into astronomy having sold up about 10 years ago (joys of children & a busy life). 

Birthday this week & got a 6" Tabletop Dob on a custom built movable table. But as the sticker on the box suggested, it did contain clouds & three days later not had chance to use it.... 

Time to go back to lurking & waiting for the clouds to go away!

Welcome back. Have fun. 🙂

A nice starting point Jonathan. Does that Bresser come with the solar filter too? I've found that putting levers on the base and on the telescope gives far more fine control over a Dob's movements - if you didn't already know that.

Yep it comes with a solar filter, so looking forward to using that as well. 

Good suggestion on using leavers, will look into it. Thanks
