    Give us a clue. Funny you've posted this, l bought a telescope for myself and son in the winter and started setting it up yesterday. Took longer than l thought so I'm finishing it off today, it's an EQ mount, I'm going to have to have a word with Brian Cox.

    It’s not Orion, it could be Ursa major, but you can see more stars than you normally see here.
