Daz Type-R Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Where are you thinking, Sawley or Belper? if the weather is gonna be good, even though I am on call I may just have to pop down if it is the Sawley site, I need to be within an hour of work, and work is at Ruddington, so Sawley would be fab Edited January 12, 2012 by Daz type-r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wisewoman Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I got my 200p just a few weeks ago its a great scope and I'm having loads of fun with it! Apart from the obvious ones, make sure you check out the M37 in Auriga and the Owl Cluster in Casseopia. They look a treat in it! Enjoy!
