Scope arrived on Thursday and got it together that evening and lugged it up the backyard for a quick non-motorised view around the sky. These mounts are heavy suckers!
Tonight (Valentines day) I got the GOTO up and running and after 3 attempts worked out the alignment. Had to lookup Starwalk on the iPad to identify some stars. I'm so new
Anyways...it all works! Freakin' amazed what's up there that you can't see with the naked eye, despite the glow of Brisbane to the East.
