I've just been outside observing a beautiful halo round the moon. I've never seen one so big or such a perfect circle - you could almost convince yourself...

Hi folks, the spirit level on the used scope I bought today is broken. The mount is an EQ4. Anywhere where I can get a replacement? Cheers, Texy

Hello folks, I'm very new to all this and am keen to take a few photos to show friends and family what the views through my telescope are like. I'm confused...
