Hi everyone my name is Chris and i live in the Newcastle area. About a month ago i took my sons telescope out the front because a website said you could see Saturn really easily and it was easy to find because it was next to the moon. My sons telescope is a very cheap $50 piece from aldi...lol
But low and behold we could even see the rings a bit. From then on my family has been hooked. I bought a 114mm x 500mm newtonian with an eq III mount from ebay. It works great for the price i paid. I have skyview cafe and sastro view online on my comp but i now find it hard to see saturn again..lol
I am joining the newcastle astro society this month which should help me out.
Is this a good enough telescope for the back yard explorer. Money was a big option for me at the time of sale. Will i be able to see anything besides the big planets?
Thanx guys only new here.
