Guest Des Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hi all. I'm now the proud owner of a scope. Alway wanted one, so treated myself for my 50th ( better late than never) Very steep learning curve but im loving it. Look forward very much to learning from you all. The tech bit; Celestron SkyProxigy 130 + lens and filter kit with a Power tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawson Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hello and welcome. Sounds like you've got a nice collection of kit to get you going. I'll be interested to hear how you get on with the filters for visual use. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Des Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 5 welcomes all before 0730am! You guys must all be early risers! I'm only up because I work split shifts. Itching for the weather to cheer up and play with my new toys. The dark sites sound great, so with moderators permission, I'll soon be visiting one of the sites. Thanks again for the warm welcome.

Brantuk Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hi Des and welcome to EMS Hope to meet you soon at a dark site. Meantime if you have any questions just fire away in the beginners and help section. We're not early risers by the way - we just don't go to sleep unless it's cloudy or raining lol.

catman161 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Welcome to EMS I'll be interested to hear first hand about the alignment system of the sky prodigy. I've not met anyone who owns one as yet. It will be good to hear if it is as simple as celestron advertise. Hopefully you'll get some clear skies soon.

Big Al Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Welcome. Ditto what Felix said above. I looked at one quite seriously and agonised for ages before buying a standard go-to. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Hi Des, a warm welcome to EMS. By all means come over to a darksite meet, the first visit is free to see if you like what you see. Keep an eye on the info and announcements thread, as they can be called or cancelled at short notice. In the meantime, enjoy the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Des Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Thank you for all your warm welcomes. Pity the weather isn't as warm. But I've been busy, modding some cases so I can transport my gear safely. £30. The £500 being asked for a bespoke case was a bit rich!! My kids have spoiled me with a present! A Celestron NexImage 5mp cam!! Totally delighted obviously, but in one swift move they've doubled my learning curve! Anyway, this isn't the thread to wittle on, so I'll just say thanks again for the friendly greeting and look forward to seeing you all when the sky's clear up a bit.
