Good choice J L that scope got some good reviews

clear skies

I agree it's a good scope and you will really enjoy it. As for the dslr body question you will need a T adapter with a 1.25" or 2" nosepiece to fit your camera.

from a happy 150P owner here.

Good choice.

That lot will give you everything you need to get you going. Don't forget a decent filter. You can add goto and maybe a polar scope to aid setting up later if and when funds allow.

Great choice, it's a fabulous scope, I've loved mine for the past 4 months, and have seen many wonderful sights through it, you wont be disappointed.

I have only just parted with mine for a 200P and it's a big beast

Clear skies and happy viewing

Thank you everyone

I think maybe right size for putting in car and in caravan.

Roll on next saturday now.

oh and clear skies of course lol

it will be like christmas for me.how many sleeps? whoooo 7.

Great choice and glad you went for brand new in the end. The binos are a good choice too but you'll need an adaptor for a camera tripod. I have the same ones and suggest you find Jupiter with it's moons in the early hours - it's a fascinating sight. To see the banding - train the scope on it and it's even more amazing. You might want to add an RA motor at some stage so you can track in a single plane (means less twiddling with the knobs).

Looking forward to hearing how you get on with it
