Guest to.dick Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Hi from Barrow upon Soar. As I live on a narrow boat along the soar- grand union canal I have passed some sites worth a visit during these dark nights. I have a sky prodigy 130 ( very cheap) could not resist, I noticed it is not regarded very highly on here but I will try it out and see. hope to talk to you all soon. regards .

red dwalf Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 welcome to the forum, absolutely nothing wrong with the 130, they make great scopes, i started off with a 130p autotrak and loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Hi Dick, a warm welcome to the forum. There's nothing wrong with the scope you have chosen, it will show you the Planets, the brighter deep sky objects, and some good lunar detail. It should keep you busy for a while. Keep an eye on the announcements and info section, if you want to join in any of the activities when they happen you would be very welcome. If you have any questions, then please feel free to ask away in the Beginners and help section, someone will be along to help out. Enjoy the forum.

Guest to.dick Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Hi all thanks for the warm welcome I bought this telescope as a repair or spares job After a couple of days trying to make sense of the problems and getting used to the telescope I kept getting the line cap? 1 540 error on the handset. otherwise it seemed to work fine. A couple of nights outside trying this and that getting on the net so on so on.. went to bed one morning 5 am after a night outside, when I realised that the enter key did not seem to do a lot any way took it to pieces and low and behold who ever had it before for what ever reason had opened the back when re assembling it had pinched a ribbon connecting strip between the pad and the buttons. anyway put it all back next night perfect buttons worked menus fine all good. Now I found that the hand set firmware is 3.11 how do I update read all the info on the net as I could find downloaded all the update files but cannot find any where which buttons to press to start off. o & 8 did not work?? sorry for the long post regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
