The moon is friggin awesome. Have to sit on the ground though as it's straight up right now.
Off to look at some stars now. I have a very limited viewing viewing window at home.
Oh and it's a big scope. The pictures on the net don't do it justice. Glad l didn't go for the 152.
Very happy chappy right now.  |
Rod my Bresser 152mm f5 arrived with three broken scews on the finderscope bracket. It is due to the fact that they are rather brittle nylon, and the stupid way they pack them in the accessories box just screwed into the bracket. If they were in a separate little bag there would be no issue. . I had a real problem finding replacements and you cannot get white nylon ones as far as i could tell. Send an email to Wolfi at Teleskop-Express, he knows about them because i did that. He will send you as many as you ask for, for free, no shipping, under warranty. Don't leave it get onto him.
I actually don't use the finderscope because i am narrowband imaging with mine and the field of view of the f5 is more than adequate, my target area is always right there - well if you have a properly aligned EQ mount with Goto.
