Hi all,

I have bought a new telescope, it is a 12" Skywatcher Newtonian telescope (Explorer 300P).

I had to build a mount for it, so I used parts off my old telescope. This is how it looks


I have also bought a televue 2" 2x barlow lens. Havnt had time to use the scope yet but tomorrow morning I should be to capture a few. Hope all goes well!

How much does it weigh?

it very heavy actually, I dont know the exact weight but it needs 2 people to lift it, I can just about manage it on my own but its not good for your back
