Jon Sales Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hi all, Just dropping by to say hello and to introduce myself.My names Jon and I used to be into astronomy about 15 years ago. Back then I had a Celestron 9.25 sct on an old German equatorial mount. I've been bitten by the bug again and i'm looking for a new telescope to go observing again.I've been using my girlfriends Meade DS 2090 lately Burr want something a bit more professional with out silk being portable. My budget is about £800.Any advice would be must welcome.Regards,Jon Sales, East Sussex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catweazel Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hi Jon and welcome to SGL. Not sure I understand the question about scopes? Are you looking for a more or less portable scope than the DS2090? Are you specifically looking for a Mak? or would a reflector or refractor be ok?

Jon Sales Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hi Catweazel,I'm after something bigger than the 2090 but still portable enough to be transported to darker sites if need be. I had a sct years ago and found it really good. I've Bern looking at the Chesterton Nexstar range lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
