I had to google 'EQ mount'.. I didn't realise that there was yet another compenent that I will need.
I have a real sinking feeling that I'm going to end up having to take this thing to the tip, which wll be a real defeat I must say.
I guess I should start checking out the other forums for advice on a good first telescope on a budget. The really galling thing is the time I've wasted trying to use this thing when I could have been having a blast with a smaller telescope.
Just to make it clear, this guy Cris repeatedly told me that I would need a mount for this thing, he had a big photo book of telescopes that he showed me with mounts in them and explained what they are. I don't want to disparage him at all, as far as I'm concerned he runs a 100% reputable business and did everything he could to keep me informed. I wanted the big scope, I got what I wanted at the time.
