When you contact Telescope Service Patrick Woytilla will probably be the one who replies to you. Please measure what eye level height is for you and ask him to verify that the eyepiece will not be out of reach at high angles. If there's a problem with the size of the scope in that regard he will give you good advice.

John

They replied already, I asked them about the eyepiece. Eye level for me is about 1.75-1.8m,so i should be ok at high angles, its the low ones that I might have a problem with :oops:
The accessories that come with it are:
a 20mm Plossl eyepiece and a 6x30
finderscope.
Are there any 'must haves' that i should order at the same time?

I was on to someone about that telescope, and they seemed to think think that the EQ-3 mount for the Celestron 150/750mm is not good enough, it will not be rigid enough in any wind.
please guys need some advice or Ill prob get a jumper for xmas!!

The ADM mount should be fairly rigid - costs another €100 though. Alternatively for the same price you could get an 8" Dob. The advice I would give is get the best quality mount you can with it or get a Dob. A poor mount will make the scope frustrating to use.
Good Luck!
