I saw the ad in Dunfermline Press, I have always been fascinated by the skies and had hinted for a telescope for years. This Christmas Santa brought me a Zenox Telescope with equatorial mount. There was instructions on how to build but not how to use - I've tried to use on a clear night sky but having extreme difficulty in using the telescope. Need some help. I would be very interested in coming to any meetings etc.

Looking forward to speaking with someone who has some idea of what they're up to

Hi Mark,

Welcome to the club!

I'm a relative newcomer myself - I bought my scope about a year ago, but it has an equatorial mount like yours, so I'd be happy to show you what I've learned so far.

Paul.
