Review & set up of the Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ-MD (Motor Drive) Telescope

The Celestron AstroMaster range of telescopes are a popular next step for those who are developing their interest in the cosmos and so investing money into the larger, higher powered scopes. I consider myself a competent novice having had a scope in the past, I decided I needed a better scope to take me through to the next level and so ordered a Celestron AstroMaster 130EQ-MD from PicStop.co.uk . Then it was just a matter of eagerly awaited delivery.

Real user review of the Vanguard VEO Select 46BR GR Slim Backpack

The Vanguard VEO Select 46BR is the bigger relation to the Veo Select 37BRM. Why is that relevant? Simple, the 37BRM is a bag I purchased previously and has been my go-to backpack (for when I am walking around towns) for around the last 2 years or more. So when I had the opportunity to review the larger 46BR, I jumped at the chance.

Review of the Celestron NexImage 10 Solar System Colour Imager

I would like to share my early experiences with the Celestron NexImage 10 Solar System Colour Imager for those beginners like me. I have no doubt that experienced Astro Photographers would smile, but probably empathise with my difficulties. The Celestron Neximage 10 is basically a webcam camera for the night skies. It uses a light-sensitive imaging sensor to capture streaming video of any solar system object. This is then processed in the supplied computer packages.

Celestron Starsense AutoAlign Review - automatic alignment for your telescope

Is this a must or not? For me, it is a must and the best piece of equipment I have invested in for my astronomy hobby. I would class myself as an advanced beginner who still has a lot to learn. I discovered the Celestron StarSense Auto Align, a Celestron accessory gadget that would help find what I wanted with the minimum set up, it was a dream come true.

Is the Vanguard VEO T37M the best camera bag for mirrorless cameras?

I think this bag is, quite possibly now, my go-to bag. The Vanguard T37M range is probably as close to perfect as any camera bag will get. It’s also possibly unique, as I don’t believe anyone else makes a bag of this type, in that size and certainly not at the same price point.

Are the Celestron Nature DX ED 10x42 the best general purpose binoculars?

I think the Celestron Nature DX ED 10x42 are truly great value as general purpose binoculars, small, light (relatively) and a great view.

Review, set-up, and using the Celestron Powerseeker 127AZ Astronomy Telescope Kit.

​You will need patience, but if you have that and time, it’s a lot of telescope for not a lot of money. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the telescope body is actually metal, not plastic. Though still lightweight, it does feel fairly robust.
