Thank you for your response david! can you give me a few links where i can find cheap used scopes please? usually the sites i have seen that have such telescopes have a very limited variety and on the higher end only.

Hello everyone! I haven't been on here in a minute, i've moved from Greece to Toronto and now Ottawa, and I couldn't bring my telescope from Greece here, so now I have to buy another one. I found a good National Geographic telescope, the 114/500mm one https://explorescientificusa.com/products/nt114cf-telescope I'm wondering if anyone has used this scope before can tell me how the optics are, or even if you haven't used this specific one but have dealt with this brand I would very much appreciate your opinion. and if its not that good, I am again on a tight budget (and no, I would not like binoculars :p) and am looking for a scope under CAD$200 all opinions are welcome and appreciated, thank you!

OK Thank you!

As I said before i'll probably go ahead and camp on Brockway mountain! But thank you for your suggestions!

Bortle 5? Well I hope you have fun in France where it has less light pollution!

Actually, as I was looking at a light pollution map, I'll probably go ahead and camp on Brockway Mountain. It has no light pollution so it'll be great!

Thank you very much!

OK thank you!!

I will live on the 4th floor in the apartment, and I will be taking the scope to this one national park (I forgot what it was called) to solve the light pollution issue And I also love 10" Dobs! The only problem is that I can't get one! (yet)

Thank you very much! And also a BIG thank you to everyone that spent their time to help me! Clear Skies To You All! -Jason

Thank you!

OK thank you!

In a couple of days i'll be there! And thank you very much! That's very kind of you!

Even now with my little 3" reflector i'm blown away with the views that it gives me! Just imagine an 8"!

Oh yeah my apologies I forgot to put that detail in!

OK then, do you know of any canadian marketplace to buy telescopes from? Thanks a bunch!

My old(er scope, actually not even that old) is the Skywatcher Astrolux AZ-1, and it is a really good telescope! And no, I was never tempted to change or even buy new eyepieces, I really liked them!

OK thank you very much! Clear Skies, Jason

Hello! there's no need to apologize! after all, you're just trying to help, and I really appreciate it! But I've already sold my 1 scope already, so it's not much of an issue for me! But thank you for your suggestion! Clear Skies, Jason

Hello! Thank you very much! I won't need to buy more eyepieces, 'cause my old newtonian Skywatcher scope has a 25mm Super plossl eyepiece and a 10mm super plossl, plus a 2x multicoated barlow lens! Again, thanks a bunch! Clear Skies, Jason

1500 CAD$ is a bit too much! But thank you for your suggestions! Clear Skies, Jason

Not yet, but I will get one shortly after I arrive there. Also, are these 2 telescopes good enough? And if so which one's better? https://optcorp.com/products/orion-skyquest-xt8-classic-dobsonian-telescope-kit https://optcorp.com/products/sky-watcher-classic-200p Clear Skies, Jason

This won't be my first scope! in fact it will be my 3rd! I know how the sky moves and some of the constellations, as I said before i'm not that new to the hobby (probably been in it for a year or so)

OK thank you!

OK, 1. I'll be moving to toronto soon (which unfortunately means lots and lots of light pollution!) 2. As I said above (For observing and for astrophotography) 3. No, i'm not a beginner 4. Portability will kind of be an issue 'cause I will be living in an apartment
