Julian & Wayne,
Many thanks and yes next time I will be taking page 19 of the Meade manual with me and in easy to read large print!
I was taken by surprise. I was expecting to fiddle around and sort of fumble and stumble. It was a real shock when directly after pointing at Jupiter it leapt out of the eye piece in glorious pastel bands, I really didn't expect such a result.
Next time the scope goes outside it will be in the company of an experienced Astronomer who has very kindly offer to walk me through the initial steps of using the Meade LX 90 in the way it was designed to be used.
I also think this maybe a great moment to give a shout of thanks to Don @ Bintel for his patience and his guidance in both selecting the scope and of course the accessories that make the scope function, so many thanks Don!
Last night was incredibly exciting and I know with utter confidence that this is just the first in a long series of nights that now stretch out in front of me. I am also confident that when I have questions that Gentlemen such as Wayne & Julian are there to help. Many thanks and yes page 19 will be with me next time.
Cheers
David
