Cheers mate.I recently purchased a Synscan 130.A nice scope.I am looking forward to getting to grips with it.Have not been out much.Really shitty weather.It was snowing here yesterday.But the skys are looking good for this weekend.Fingers crossed.I think my next purchase will be a Dob.Not many clubs here in Denmark.At least not where i live.Thanks for the advice.Always welcomed.

Aloha.It is possible to buy a telescopefor under a 100 dollars,but to be honest my friend you wont get much for your money.Dont be discouraged however.If your son is into Astronomy and you guys are just starting out it may be agood idea to start of with a good pair of binoculars.A simple 10x50 are a good start and will help you find your way around the night sky.They have a wide angle view so you will get to see alot more when you look through them.It can be a daunting task trying to find your way around the night sky if you are not so familiar with where you should be looking.Be patient! even if it takes several years save up for a good scope.It will be a worth while investment.The sky is not going anywhere,not at least for the next few billion years anyway.Get a sky chart,go outside and enjoy your new hobby with your son.He will thank you for it in years to come.When you do have a bit of cash to spare there are many good telescopes you could pick up for about 500 to 600 dollars.Try perhaps Skywatcher.Anything from 6" upwards will give you something worth looking at. Hope i could be of help to you.Clear skys buddie.:glasses1:

Hello all.Can anyone perhaps give me some feedback in regards to buying a explorer 200.I am relatively new to astronomy,although i have always been interested in stargazing ever since i was a little kid.I recentley bought a new house close to denmarks biggest national park called "Rebild national park".The skys are perfect.I have very little light pollution,just alittle from my street light.With the permission of my neighbours they have given me the OK to take out the very dim bulbs after 10:30 at night.After that i have very if no light pollution.So having considered all the options i decided to buy a telescope.I have done some research,and the name skywatcher keeps popping up.Is this a worth while investment?Any feedback would be much appreciated.Many thanks.
