Oh boy! There has truly been a looong time since my last post. Almost two years has passed since last time I watched the stars in the sky through a telescope (and even longer since I posted an update on this site), and I must say it feels like an eternity. There are a couple of reasons for this of course. Other interests have temporarily replaced the need of starlight along with a change in my daily routines, mainly due to the move to Gothenburg. Another big reason has been the need of a new, more stable mount with higher accuracy. The original fork mount has felt a bit insufficient lately as my demands have increased.

After a couple of years of research I finally made up my mind and ordered a Skywatcher EQ8 Pro which arrived last Friday. Christmas comes early for some people ?

I believe this could be a good season if only the weather is merciful and the mount is what I hope it is…
