Moon monkey Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Hi all. just thought I would give you an update ........... Ive got my scope !!!!!! YYYAAAAYYYYYY I have changed the setup a little .... I now have a EQ5 Synscan goto mount, and an 8" Altair Astro imaging Newtonian tube. I spent the night last night under clear stary skies..... and couldnt see a thing I just couldnt get the scope to focus, it seemed as though i couldnt wind the focuser out far enough ? I have since found an extention ring that fits inbetween the eye peice and the focuser. so I will try again tonight ... I may even be able to align the scope proper No one said this was going to be easy Cheers Monkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad Astra Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hi everyone.... I had my first "succesfull" session with my new telescope last night I would like to write a report ..... Where should I post it ??? A first light is excellent in either the beginners section - or more likely the equipment section.Glad you had a successful night!Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamski Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 With very popular demand it seems that quite a lot of items are out of stock.6 weeks is a long time tho, especially if like me you hate waiting for anything. Good luckand welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
