I agree clear outside is a gem

Sw 130 was my first one I read in the times they awarded the 130 slt scope of the year

That's a great idea cheers

How does it compare to the like for like skywatcher dogs say a 200p ...how does it compare for quality etc

Cheers guys safari looks just right

Hi are there any good I phone apps you would recomend for star gazing

It would be scope number three for me I have the 200p already just wondered whT thoughts were on it as it now classed as the scope of 2015 by some

Hi all, The above scope has been suggested to me as a quality scope for observing deep space and planets and I understand has been nominated for awards for its quality. Has anyone got this scope and if so how do you rate it v a 200p dob ?

Yep head is spinning like saturns rings! I like the small dob idea but I think I am leaning towards the refractor idea

Very good advice many thanks the 130p is a good one to consider

Great and exciting choice hope you enjoy

Very good point a refractor is looking a good option

I have to say though that the celestron nexstar 127SLT look I great scope and reviews rate it highly over the skywatcher

Nice in theory nebula but this is kids after all and the synscan idea appeals as they have little paigencecand get board easily I think Xilinx idea is a Gregat one

That's a great idea Xilinx I already have a dob 200p so not much point buying mother plus it's too big for kids I like the idea of a refractor
