I required a USB flash drive to transfer SATNAV files from my Win10 PC to my car. This is a procedure I carry out once a year so the plan was to utilise the flash drive with my Samsung smart TV timeshift feature in between because my aging SanDisk 32gb was beginning to degrade possibly due to repeated recording & deletion of TV programs.

I waited over a week for a clear night, then set myself up for an evening of astronomy. The Starsense application is nothing short of genius. Once everything is aligned and your mobile phone is in the telescope's cradle, you press a couple of buttons to select what you'd like to see, the app works it's magic and directional arrows appear on screen, you follow these and a green lock on symbol appears, look through the viewfinder and there is your celestial body of choice. It really is that simple.

After doing a lot of research the Celestron 130EQ newtonian reflector model kept coming up and now it's clear to see why it's a great starting point.... Using the telescope itself we tested it out on some bright stars by configuring the viewfinder and taking our time to learn to use the different dials. We progressively moved onto different stars which just look like bright tiny lights in the distance but is fascinating to see.

I have always been interested in astronomy and the night sky but with a bit more time on my hands in lockdown I decided to get a bit more serious. That said I had no idea about telescopes and specifications, lenses, eyepieces etc so I looked around on the net and plenty of sites seemed to recommend Celestron as good beginner scopes. The 130eq seemed about the most powerful in the beginners price range that I was looking at and had good reviews for the quality of the optics and general build quality. It also seemed to be portable which many of the more powerful scopes aren't as the wight, length and bulk increases. As it can be used for daytime terrestrial viewing this is a plus point.

Powering a telescope using a suitable battery source rather than mains power has the advantage that the telescope, without the restriction of a mains lead, becomes both portable and safer - due to the absence of at least one tripping hazard! Lead-acid batteries have the disadvantage of being excessively bulky and heavy and in my experience have a relatively short life.

I love my SanDisk Clip Sport GO MP3 player and would certainly recommend it to everybody interested. The sound quality is fantastic. I would say this is a must buy for those looking for a reliable MP3 player at an unbelievable price

Not only was it the best price at the time of searching but also promised a swift delivery, which meant I might still make for some Pink Moon spotting

I have looked at a number of spotting scopes suitable for birdwatching, borrowing one to start with. I have just received my Celestron 20-60 x 60 and am delighted with it.

I bought one of these to replace the older USB 3.0 version which got dangerously hot and even burnt my hand.

If you think it is important enough to record data on a dash cam or CCTV system then why risk recording to a memory card that is simply not suitable ? Find out why you should be using one of the Micro SD cards from either the Samsung PRO Endurance Micro SDXC offering or SanDisk High Endurance 100MBs Micro SDXC Card range, both cards are specifically designed to work in dash cam and CCTV monitoring systems.

10x magnification makes these binoculars very versatile ... You've got to love the look of a pair of porro binoculars, and you've got to love the design of these binoculars in particular.... The binoculars gave me some brilliantly bright imagery...
