Hi all. Got my new Skywatcher 130 and despite not understanding the setup instructions was rewarded with A  M  A  Z  I  N  G  view of Saturn on my first attempt.  Thanks to Stellarium software and a clear night.  But its been cloudy since!!!  As frustrating as golf!

You can't beat that first view of Saturn, it's just stunning isn't it.


 


Any questions just ask away in the beginners section and someone will be along shortly.
