That's some awesome info right there! Now I know what the letters M and NGC are! Baby steps...

Unfortunately, when I took the telescope out two nights ago for the second time, the GOTO device had stopped working it kept saying "Dec/Alt No Response" or "Both Axes No Response", I've gone back to Bintel ( where the original purchaser got it from ) and spoken with Don who was great. Learned a great deal from him but even the WiFi dongle didn't work so I have to take it back to Graeme at Skywatcher tomorrow.

Really sucks as I was looking forward to my second clearish night, had the mozzie sprays and all...
Oh well, at least I can read about it in the meantime and use the finder scope


I've got Stellarium, sky safari, bought a nokia ring to attach my D90 and a moon filter for viewing with the kids. Have to get a dolly next to take it to a dark park.
