thanks everyone...it is a skywatcher 1200 x 150 f/8 DOB
only been able to use it for short periods between those rotten clouds...
i need to find out more about the barlow and telrad...
i am ok for the time being at least with maps, red light, planesphere,
it came with a 10mm and 25mm and i purchased wide angle & a lunar filter
unfortunately, couldnt get to the astrofest...hopefully next time...
anyway, put the petrol money towards the DOB...so am happy, mind you would be a lot happier if i got to use it....
the skies have to clear at some stage ....dont they!!!!
