Thanks for the link Baz it has been promptly bookmarked. I wouldn't even have known about the cooling down either... I don't have a laptop but have downloaded starmap for my iphone for when i go out so between that and the net I'm all ready to go.

Counting the days (hours) till it arrives...

I know I will be receiving a x2 Barlow in the pack of Celestron lenses. I was wondering would it be worth my while investing in x3 Barlow for this scope? Or would that be pushing it? Just really want to get the most I can out of it.

Thanks for your help! :hello2:

hi and welcome

Celestron say Highest Useful Magnification for your scope is 307x so a 6mm EP will give 325x with 3x barlow. 7mm ep would give 265x with barlow.

I normally go up to about 170x however I only use my 25mm EP (60x) when looking at nebular.

Remember the higher the zoom the more the tracking will have to be bang on.
