G'day

[laputa]

G'day and flaming bazookas.

Laputa, Pete here from the sunny UK.

Just popping in to say hi to y'all.

At the mo I have a Bressier Messier 90mm refractor, a generic and tiny 50mm refractor for the nipper (table tripod in front room for birding, especially the girl at number, ahem) and have been offered the possibility of a Meade ETX-70AT Telescope for about £140 quid almost new.

Is this a good scope? I want to gather a small collection as I live on the Coast and have great skies.

Also saw Saturn and Venus last night - top banana!

Bye!

Welcome aboard - is the Bressier Messier good? I've sometimes thought of buying one, but haven't found any owners to ask about them.
