I got my first scope

[StarScream]

Hi All,

I took Friday off work & went out and bought my first telescope - Skywatcher Mak 150 Pro & HEQ5 Pro mount. Saw Saturn, Jupiter & the moon that first night, wicked.

Now to accessorise.

Cheers.

Good luck hope you've got deep pockets otherwise change hobbies now before it's to late you'll be able to get most of your money back. Not married are we ????



PS: take some photo's now and write a diary so you'll remember what a sex life was

Great!!!

Now watch....next it's a a set of good 1.25 or 2" eyepieces, a set of filters for both visual and photographic use, then a good CCD camera (no, make that 2 or 3), a guidescope and autoguider, a good 2nd scope with accessories, then an even better 3rd scope (in the 24" class at least), with all the best you can get

Welcome to the fold... or should i say.. welcome to WALLET FOLD!

Jupiter and saturn are always sure to sucker you in to your new hobby!! Get that HEQ5 to give you a tour of the sky around 10 - 11pm and you'll see some real treasures this time of year..

Good first scope too... you'll have a ball!
