New Scope

[tommys]

Took the plunge after watching the BBC progs., and ordered a Skywatcher Explorer 130P which arrives tomorrow. Hopefully a clear sky tomorrow evening, provided I can set it up correctly. Might even get the grandchildren interested.

good luck with the new scope

[tommys]

Already downloaded Stellarium. Need something to give me an idea what I am looking at.

Looking forward to Spring when I can take it to Galloway where I have a caravan and no street lighting.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but as a rule of thumb if you buy a new scope it is always bad weather the first night
