Moon monkey Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Just thought I would come and say hello to everyone.I have been interested in the stars for a long time including taking pics with my DSLR and simply looking through binoculars. Finaly decided to take the plunge and buy a scopeIve orderd and paid for a telescope and mount (skywatcher 200p and an EQ5 goto mount) 6 weeks ago Keep being told it will be here next week ?? apparently its the mount that is out of stock can anyone confirm they are not in the country at the moment ?Anyway enough about that, just looking forward to being able to see further than i ever have before the waiting is killing me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesM Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hi Moon Monkey and welcome to the forum.It would seem there are a number of scopes that are out of stock temporarily in part due to the popularity of the BBC's Stargazing Live which cleared a lot of scope at a time when the retailers stock levels were naturally low after Christmas. I'm sure you won't have long to wait and will make you that bit more eager to get out there when it does!In the meantime clear skiesJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon monkey Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 Thanks all for the warm welcome I have been told about the "stargazing live" phenominum..... trust me to order a scope when they are as rare as RHS ;o) Oh well as you say ... it will be even more exciting when it comes.
