My Sky-Watcher Explorer 130PM telescope was successfully delivered today. I was surprised how big and heavy the box was. You don't get the sense of scale from shop photos - I feel very sorry for the poor delivery man who has had to carry the thing to the house twice now.
Unfortunately I was homeworking today so I couldn't open it all up immediately but I had a peak inside the box this evening...to find another box! And inside that box was...another box! I finally got to the individual boxes inside and looking at the instruction manual I think I'm going to need a good long evening to put it all together away from my enthusiastic but accident-prone 6 year old. This is going to be frustrating because I won't get a chance to set it up until Monday.
First impressions are that everything seems to be there and well protected in numerous boxes. it comes with the necessary tools which is a nice touch. The eyepieces I ordered seem to have been upgraded by the shop, which is nice. I'm quite looking forward to trying to put it all together on Monday.
