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

Mark D

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.
