Hi again.
Was on this site a few years ago as Red_Dog, dropped out of the telescope scene for a while due to accidentally breaking my Bresser Messier AR127 I and also living in a very well lit suburb. Couldn't remember old username until l signed up again and found myself.
Now l have my own big backyard and when my new star diagonal arrives I'll have a functioning telescope again, sans finder scope which needs some fixing to the bracket.
Plan to get the SCP setup sorted, learn the basics of the night sky and build a home made pier as the OTA is maxing out my tripod.
Definately going to get out to some dark sites, I mostly have weekday RDO's and will be doing some camping.
Cheers, Rod.
