Hello from Tunbridge Wells

Hello

I've just bought a second hand Skywatcher 130m. Came with a 25mm and a 2x Barlow.

Got fed up with getting outbid by stingers on ebay, so found this scope in the local paper. Bought it from an enthusiast who showed me how to set up etc, so really pleased.

Enjoying Saturn at the moment...next purchase...maybe a Plossl eyepiece around 12mm.

Hi Strugz, Welcome to the forum

Maybe you could go for a 32mm Plössl for a nice wide field of view.

Here's a thread that'll help you with the basics of choosing EPs : Eyepieces - the very least you need.

Hi Strugz and welcome to the forum.

Congratulations on your scope and agree with David O that a 32mm would be a better choice.
