Guest Jamie S Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hi all, thought I'd join the forum, I'm from Alvaston in Derby, I've just purchased a SW150P/1200mm scope, actually about to go out with it now, I got hooked last year but only had a cheap celestron refractor. Still very much a newbie and trying to learn my way around. Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently have a celestron refractor looking to go to the same scope as you!! ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jamie S Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Thank you for the welcomes Hi Jamie, I would be interested to hear your thoughts on your new scope. I currently have a celestron refractor looking to go to the same scope as you!! ta Last night was my first viewing session with this scope, and it was truly amazing, I had a celestron powerseeker 70az before this, I could see Jupiter and it's four moons although not with vivid detail, with the 150 however I was looking at the banding on Jupiter with great detail, very impressed. Orion Nebula was stunning, again a smudge before and now I can see the nebula detail that is popularly imaged. I would definitely recommend this scope. It's seems a big piece of kit from what I've gone from, and the mount is gonna take some practice, but I will not go back after last nights session, and I'm sure the scope will be with me for a while to come, the only upgrade would be to a goto mount.

Thanks for your thoughts Jamie. I too have the 70az, and whilst it has go me going the details on Jupiter were very underwhelming. However, with that said we all have to start somewhere!!!.

No worries, sure have, that scope is what got me hooked and why I seeked a more powerful scope. 😃 I just need a trip out to some darker skies.
