Evening all,
I've been reading a lot of threads, posts and ordering Turn Left at Orion (Which arrived today and I can't wait to read) and had narrowed down my choice of first proper telescope to the Sky-Watcher Classic 200P Dobsonian from Flo due to the great reviews and I only want to do visual viewing at the moment.
I was about to press the order button and join the waiting list, but I read some more posts about Dobsonian's being difficult to keep on target for a beginner. Is it particularly difficult for a complete beginner or just something you have to master?
Also, after reading those posts I stumbled across a DIY Equatorial Platform thread which might be of help to me. Is this worth investigating further, or should I start my telescope search again?
Thanks for reading and I'll apologise in advance as I'm sure this won't be the only set of questions I have.
