Hi Stutri and welcome to SGL, I should recommend you sit awhile as it were, and see what response you get from the members before coming to any decision on your scope choice

Hi Stutri,

Warm welcome to SGL, the 130p is a great starter scope.

[NigelCampbell]

Welcome Stutri - I have a 130p but I agree that you should read more and ask a lot of questions before choosing the scope that will suit you best.

hi and welcome ,whilst choosing a scope think like this ,is it for visual only ? do i want to attach a camera ?, how portable is the scope ?, do i have storage space for a big scope ?,what other accessories will i want (eye pieces low and high power,filters headache tablets,coffee,warm clothes,webcams ,barlows ,once all these have been answered ,then think can i borrow or lend some binos of some one for a few weeks to scan and check the night skies out with first and have a look round,carbooters are great for 20x50 binos cheap as chips,
