StuartyD Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Well after what is almost a year since I joined the site I still haven't purchased my scope. After seeing the fireball that blazed across our skies a few weeks back and a meteor 30 mins ago whilst having a seat and a cigar in the garden im back looking again.After having a 10 months that I'd rather put behind me ( old man was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and my auntie and uncle passing away 2 months between each other) I'm looking to get back into stargazing and start my search for a scope again. The only positive is that my budget has increased but I'm still looking to go down the astro photography route. I've had time to read up on the subject and feel its definitely the path I'm wanting to take. So I'm looking for help and advice again as to what I should opt for with a budget of 1k.Any help or advice is fully appreciated.Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToxoLight Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Also the book 'Making Every Photon Count' is a great intro to Imaging that should point you in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
