Hi All,
Bought my 1st 'scope over 10 years ago... A cheerful 6" newt & GEM from BATSC in Heidelberg Melbourne. However, the last few years saw use declining... While the equipment was good, usage was frustrating.
Anyway, I have now upgraded (by instalments) to a SW 100ED refractor and NEQ6 mount. Wow! How much easier to use - it's great to be able to sit in a chair comfortably and be able to put your head to the eyepiece!
Bought the refractor just after Xmas and have used it 3 times since. I find setting it up much easier than my old gear even though it weighs a lot more. Little things like having an OTA in a case with its accessories increase the convenience fact.
Very happy with the NEQ6 and I am able to setup and star align quite quickly, and once done objects stay in view and go to actions get the target in the eyepiece.
I feel I have a solid base now to keep me free of upgraditis for some time, although there are some gadgets I have my eye on.
Anyway, chees and good viewing!
...Victor
