Hi Mike and everyone else
A noob question and am not afraid to ask a lot more I was gifted a Celestron Powerseeker 127, with a working tripod by a neighbour. He has had his fun with it and moved on.
Its in very good condition, dusty and the mirrors do need a good clean. i note the use of distilled water and cotton wool ball in an earlier post !!
The Finderscope is good BUT, there are no eyepieces or filters. I quick look online at the original specs and am thinking thats good money for the optics.
Does, anyone have the optics to suit or know where I can obtain the secondhand? I see there is a For sale and Wanted to Buy forum, so that my next stop.
Am new to astronomy live in Croydon Victoria, on the side of a hill. A lot of trees round here and there are some good spots in my back garden to see a fair bit of the night sky.
Thanks for being here and i will be spending a fair bit of time reading other posts and asking a lot more questions
Cheers Roger.
