martindale Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Well hello to all, many years ago my parents bought me a little 2" telescope and I remember stumbbling on Saturn and running inside and telling my dad, and that was it for about 40 years. Then last year my neighbour had a Meade 4" refractor he wanted to sell, I offered him £50 and got a telescope. Impressed but wanting more I managed to buy a second hand Orion Optics 12" F4 Newtonian on an EQ6 mount, the only eyepices I have are 2 Plossles that came with the Meade, I'm looking to aquire a selection of eyepieces and accessories, and I need help as there is so much out there. So that's where I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martindale Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Just like to say thanks to everyone at SGL for the welcome, I've already read many posts on eyepieces (I'm slowly getting my head round all the types available) - but I'm pretty sure I'll be asking for lots of advice in the near future.
