Hi there! welcoem to the forum How did you hear about us?

Is the newt mounted on an equatorial mount (with slo mo hand controls), or an alt/az (up/down/left/right) tripod?

Is it any particular brand, or noname? Where did you buy it from and for how much?

I think with those eyepieces it's really going to be pushing it to get much more out of it, but it's also worth understanding how the newt works, collimation etc.

There's a few friendly folk in Tassie and they might invite you to a viewing night etc. to check it out! And you'll get the opportunity to look through some other, bigger scopes.
