Hi all

[jaspa]

Hi

Just got my first telescope Celestron Powerseeker 127, only seen the moon so far (WOW), need some clear skies.

New to this, seems a bit confusing,

Trying to read lots of books and magazines to work out what i am doing.

Catch some of you soon.

You think this is confusing? You should try golf!

Now, if objects move out of your field of view to the right, you're slicing, and if they move to the left....

Hi Jaspa,

Like you I have just got a Celestron EQ127, and have been only able to look at the moon, due to poor conditions. Have just found this forum by chance, but very glad I have joined, as there looks to be a lot of useful information, for beginners and experts alike.

Happy Star-Gazing!

Revolvor,

Let me know how you get on with your Celestron EQ127, seems a fairly good piece of kit for a starter apart from the 3xbarlow which looks like it fell out of a chrismas cracker. I have got one new lens and need to order a decent barlow.

The Orion Shorty Plus, or Celestron Ultima are great barlows, and they'll do for if (when!) you upgrade your scope.
