SKYHAWK 1145P

[metz]

quite like the look of the 1145p , as a reflector though would it still need collimation every now and again , or is it a reflector that wouldnt need collimation ? many thanks

I've got one of those babies.. I am a total newbie to this hobby and as far as collimation is concerned I have not yet had to do this. By all accounts these reflectors usually come well set up and it appears that mine was no different.

I will of course learn how to collimate just in case things go pair shaped

mine is a 1145p 4.5 with a EQ1

I'm in ... I have bought some new Eps but only used them once from my flat window, and already noticed things looked ace. Waiting for clear skies so I can really spend some time searching for targets... I gotta get bagging some of those Messiers... and even more pressing is to catch my first ever view of Saturn! can't wait!

Yeah seen M42 in the few occasions that we have had no cloud in Essex, amazing, pre-rdered Patrick Moore's new messier book out on 29th March. How do we go about setting up a group on SGL? Spread the word to anybody with a SKYHAWK 114mm.
