dawson Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hi charlie and welcome to EMS. I've no idea what the telescope is but it will be fun to put it use on the next clear night and see what it does. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T A WOW Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hello. Welcome to EMS. I'd hazard a guess that you've got yourself a little achromatic refractor buy your description. The eyepiece you have will give you 35x magnification. Enjoy the forums. Toby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tweedledum Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hi Charles, Welcome to EMS, if you a re learning your way round the sky try a copy of 'turn left at orion' and 'sky & telescope pocket star atlas' . Then when you have a few mins download a planetarium program, Stellarium is pretty good and free, and can be found here :-- http://www.stellarium.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckstar Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I may have been watching that, wasn't bidding though. It is a little f10 achromatic refractor. They come new with kellner 20mm 10mm and 4mm eyepieces and a star diagonal. I do have one of these but have never used it, it sits round the in laws!! Got it same time and place as my Zeiss so it never got used for obvious reasons. Good luck with it, bring it along to one of our meeting or observing sessions and im sure youll get all the help you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Hi Charles, welcome to EMS! First and foremost, get yourself to a local astronomical society or one of our meets and look at the kit. You will learn loads and it'll help you buy things you don't need (e.g. choosing your next eyepieces). Enjoy the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Hi Charles, welcome to EMS. It seems that your ebay telescope has done it's job and will get you going in what is a rewarding hobby. A pair of binoculars would be a handy addition at some stage , and will show you things the scope cannot get in it's field of view. Enjoy the forum.
