Thanks for the tips. We have been using it a bit over summer. Father Christmas delivered some new EPs and a barlow and a lunar filter.
We have noticed the planets are a little blurry - we have never collimated this scope - is this likely to be an issue?
We find the focuser is not very accurate or easy to use...are focuser upgrades worth considering? If so, is the $80 one at Andrews ok or would something else be more ideal?
We still struggle with the getting it outside part...has someone invented something for carrying these monster around yet?
Whats a good set up for viewing venus and mars which are high in the sky right now? We are struggling to get big clear views of them
We have never been able to find a galaxy with this scope - is it possible, which one and with what settings?
Appreciate any tips!
Cheers
