Hi everyone

I finally got to open my Christmas pressie. The WO FLT-132 (on a EQ6 pro mount). Purchased via ebay and WO. All 100% OK.
Sure is better than my old homemade 8" dob. The Feathertouch focuser is as smooth as silk and the WO UWA eyepieces are a revelation.

Can't wait for clear winter skies. Don't have very clear skies in Sydney at the moment.

I will eventually move to Eqmod, though I find the SynScan controller and GPS mouse very easy to use, especially for my requirements at this time.

Can anyone recommend a planetarium progamme? I had one many years ago when I used an Atari 1040 STE. But that was in 1989 and I expect, hope, things have changed somewhat.

Even though the seeing has not been all that good, I now know what the "refractor" thing is all about.

Clear skies to you all.

Greg
