synapse Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Thanks for all the welcome messages. The itch do buy something may have got too strong, so after reading some reviews, I found a celestron astromaster 130-EQMD, Which is essentially the same scope my mate has and at a bargain price. They were selling like hotcakes so I thought I'd get one before the were all gone. It was cheap enough I won't be too dissapointed should I need to upgrade further down the line, and I'm sure it will keep me busy for a while. Will certainly look at getting a copy of the recommended book and post what I manage once I get it all set up and working. Now to wait for the postman!!
