SW eq2 90? or go Sw 102 eq3?
alien509 replied to alien509's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
Been an age but I actually got myself a Sky-Watcher 10" flex tube dob -
looking for something very simple to use that would help me find DSo's galaxy's it needs to be easy to use and points out interesting things to view for a newbie to use and hopfully doesn't cost much. something id take with me when out anyone recommend anything? possibly link to it ? thanks in advance

120 evostar - sw 200p dob
alien509 replied to alien509's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
ps I already have purchased a HR 8 and 15mm planetary lenses -
here's where im at atm deciding between the 120 on an eq5 2nd hand same price as the dob or the new dob seems realy hard to choose between them and I've never used a refractor. im mostly into planets or would like the best planets views I can get Dso's well mayb in time but I Cant find any genrally and don't know where they are even and tbh I just go out and point the scope a bright objects 9in the past experience) im quite new to it have owned a 4.5" reflector in the past. seems really hard to choose obv the refracter used seems a good deal with an eq5 but thr is a simplistic appeal in a dob

considering the 200p dob also thinking 120 evostar on eq5 if I can find good secondhand one or possibly a tal 100rs peeps keep saying dob for the price but im really more interested in planets and moon and not DSO's -

tasco 4" reflector meade 125 ETX -
im still struggling weather to get a 200p dob or a reflector and cant work out if the dob will be better or the refractor as im really more interested in moon and planet viewing I kind of see a lot of preferences both ways im down to those two or possibly the evostar 120

the 200p is growing on me the more I read -
how heavy is it I keep seeing different weight some saying its heavy some not ive seen some one move it and to me it looked very easy to move and set up as I will have to put mine if I get one in the boot of the car and drive to use it if its is very cumbersome im kind of unsure it is large but separated looks like it is quite light? or else im maybe looking at a Evostar 120 eq5 depends as price is quite different, but maybe I find something second hand.
