Hi, new member and new to astronomy, just completed a short course at QUB and am now awaiting arrival of my first scope, a skywatcher 130P GOTO. Any tips about set-up would be appreciated. Have looked at the sky with Binoculars for years.

Looking forward to being part of this forum.

You have chosen a good scope to enhance your astronomy, and don't worry about getting help, there is plenty of that available to you. Fire away with any questions as and when.

Best Wishes.

Ron.
