Recommendations for scope viewings in the South

[Rigel-7]

Hello - does anybody know a good showroom where you can have a look at some scopes in the South. Very sad FLO does not have a showroom as I drove through Exeter today

I live in Wimborne but would be happy to drive a couple of hours tomorrow...

Looks good but hoping to find somwhere closer to home - I think there is bristol cameras, scsastro in taunton and www.telescopeshop.co.uk in frome ... nothing in Bournemouth, Salisbury or Southampton ?

This place any good....Rother Valley Optics: Optical suppliers of telescopes, binoculars, spotting scopes and accessories.

:-) Looks good they have good prices but I wanted to get an idea without too much hassle of how bulky the 150p and Tal 100RS were ... Rother valley is about an 8 hour round trip ...

Unfortunately Telescope Shop in Frome is about the closest to your area.

There is one to the east - The Sussex Astronomy Centre near Worthing, less than two hours drive (without traffic problems!)

If you are wanting to buy a Scope from rvo, phone before hand and make sure that they have it in stock at the showroom, rather than waste a long trip to them.
