Hi


 


So it seems only polite to say hello  :) .  Having spent a few very happy years with an 'introductory' scope (Meade 90mm refractor on  alt/az goto) I decided that it was probably time to upgrade a little.  The scope itself seemed pretty decent, at least, I was happy with it.  But almost immediately following my decision to upgrade, the mount died.  No user serviceable options, so I started the process of deciding what to replace it with.  Two years later, here I am, having just acquired a NEQ6 (thanks Allan), and it's about the most exciting astro moment since I first saw Saturn's rings.


 


As upgrades go, perhaps a little on the meteoric side - but very happy none the less.  Now all I need is the time to actually get outside and use it.....


 


I'll more than likely be looking for advice - so I'll see you around.

Hi Justin, a warm welcome to EMS.


 


That's one heck of an upgrade. But it looks like you had an itch that needed scratching, and the NEQ6 will do it nicely.


 


Enjoy the forum. :)
