Congratulations Uday, I hope you enjoy the unpacking. There's nothing like the feeling of a new telescope in the family
Yes Mike, and all the gang at Bintel are a great bunch to deal with
I would start with something simple to get a hand on how everything works, The moon, Jupiter.
For something more spectacular Omega Centauri, Eta Carinae and just a general view along the central milky way will give you jaw dropping views.
Enjoy your new scope and ask all the questions you want
Cheers, John.
quote=jazzodict]Guys, finally .........I am now officially a 10" LB owner!!
Got it from Bintel in Sydney. Mike Smith was an abs delight to deal with - he answered all my persistent (& sometime silly maybe) questions very patiently ... thanks Mike.
As suggested by some of the learned members of this forun, I upgraded the Crayford focuser to 1:10 & also got a Telrad & a Orion Collimator eyepiece. Yet to open the boxes, hope to put it all together soon.
I have borrowed a few books on astronomy ... any ideas/suggestions on what objects should be the first on my list for observing?
Cheers,
Uday.[/quote]
