Revolvor Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Hi Everyone,I have just joined the forum, having got a Celestron EQ127 telescope. I have had a long-time interest in astronomy, but have never got round to getting a telescope. I chose the EQ127 as a basic starter scope, with the thought that I could upgrade to bigger and better if I wanted to - I think I am already hooked! Does that make sense, or will I just be disappointed with the EQ127?I have enjoyed looking at the moon, but sky too bright for much star-gazing. I live on the southern outskirts of a small town in Wiltshire, so not too much light pollution looking south.Looking forward to participating on the site. I get daily e-mails from www.universetoday.com - well worth visiting and subscribing to.All the best,Revolvor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 127mm scope is plenty to get you up and running, even more sosince you say you have little light pollution.Pick a moon free night and point it at M42 Orion nebula 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
