    Hi everyone ☺️

    Im just going to get it out there now, I'm a Nerd lol
    As well as an Acer fanatic, I'm also a qualified Astrophysicist, with several other armchair hobbies (being disabled has now relegated me to said armchair lol)

    However, I still love to gaze at the stars, but my telescope is extremely old and no longer fit for purpose, so I'm looking for a new one.

    Can anyone help with advice, as I'm not about to launch my own Into space

    Thank you

    Great interests both the Acers and the star-gazing.

      You might find a lot of useful information in this thread Star gazing I followed it when it was first posted.

      Is it a traditional set up you're after or something connected up to a PC maybe?
