As a newbie to Astronomy I had been looking for a good entry telescope ..

I bought the Celestron Astromaster 130eq Telescope as a beginner astronomer

I bought the astromaster 130eq Telescope as a beginner astronomer with interest in astrophotography, I have zero knowledge about both subjects, so I've been studying myself with any available info online. So finally I was brave enough to make the first step of buying equipment.

Cyclists review of the SanDisk Clip Sport Plus Bluetooth MP3 player

The shortcomings of not having an integrated MP3 player have been manifest and irritating for me as a cyclist .. I opted to buy a SanDisk Clip Sport Plus principally for its size and weight ..The unit is indeed very compact and sits very securely in the small accessory pocket

Review of the Vanguard VEO 2 Go 204 AB Lightweight Travel Tripod

I received my first from Vanguard Tripod recently ... Vanguard describes this as an "ultra light travel tripod", being perfect for small cameras (mirrorless) with a maximum load of 3.0 kg. I guess travel tripods should be small and light and this one certainly fits into that category.

Review of the Vanguard VEO Select 35 Shoulder / Messenger Camera Bag

This is my 5th Vanguard camera bag and the first of the 'large' messenger type. I bought this from picstop.co.uk after shooting a sunrise and found that changing lenses/bodies from a backpack slowed me down a little. I realised that what I needed was a simpler top loading camera bag for this purpose.

Comparing the old SanDisk Sansa Clip to the Sansa Clip JAM MP3 Player

Good Price & Delivery on the Sansa Clip Jam MP3 Player. Approximately 10 years ago I bought a Sansa MP3 Player. In those days there was just the Clip Model, no Clip Jam or fancy Clip Sport or other such options.

What can you see with the Celestron NexStar 8 SE Computerised Telescope

So I decided to buy a Celestron NexStar 8SE Telescope. It came in double quick time. As soon as I got it, I knew I would not be disappointed. The tripod it sits on is very sturdy, this has been a weak point in my previous smaller astronomy telescope, so good to see. It's dead easy to assemble, although best to do a trial run in daylight first.

I came across PicStop on a review website, it was highly recommended by everyone. So I looked and the first item I saw was this Review of Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 114 AZ.
