Thanks for the welcome - I've just spent a mildly frustrating hour or so trying to find the tarantula nebula, to no avail - the wind didn't help. M42 is dead easy to find again and I showed that to all family members!
I have a Skywatcher 130mm Catadioptric Newtonian with an EQ2 mount. I'm very pleased with the results to far and I've not even really tried doing it properly yet!!!
So I'm off to Bintel tomorrow to find out why my RA drive doesnt seem to attach properly and I'm planning to get a red torch, possibly a polar alignment scope, maybe another eyepiece or two and investigate photography options. Any tips on other useful purchases?
I'm using Stellarium, to help with my poor knowledge of the stars.
Also any tips on how to find stuff?
