hello.

new to this forum but not to astronomy, that being said its quite a few years since I last owned a 'scope.

My aim for 2013 is to get a new rig so will be posting on here for advice!

Cheers

Hi and welcome to the SGL. I am sure you will receive many excellent recommendations for scopes when you ask for advice.

Clear skies,

Hi Orange Skies & welcome aboard. You'll get lots of great advice here. What sort of gear do you think you'll get?

[orange_skies]

Hi. Cheers for the welcome :-)

I've previously owned an LX90 and an 80ED Refractor, although both sadly gone due to usual balance of life on resources!

I think this time I'm after a 'scope primarily for grab and go lunar planetary observing but versatile enough to cope with brighter DSO's from backyard or if travel to darker skies.
