Scott Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 G'day Mcweasel, and welcome to SGL. Do you own a 'scope yet? One thing I would suggest is to really think hard and ask loads of Q's before spending. Things like,are you likely to want to take pictures and if so what sort of targets? Are you likely to be the kind of person whoenjoys hunting targets down manually or are you likely to want electronic assistance. The answer to these questions will go a long way in determining what sort of set-up you're going to want.Lastly, if you can get along to your local astronomy society and see for yourself whats available, all the better As has been mentioned, if you have any questions, just ask in the relevent sub-forum. You'll find most of us love to share our knowledge....thats how we got it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcweasel01 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Hey All, thanks again for the welcome, everyone seems really friendly and a good place share knowledgeAuspom - I don't own a 'scope yet, I've got another post running for advice. I did manage to stop my Mrs from getting me a Groupon one, and thanks to the feedback I've got a better idea of what I want. Sadly my local club meet at the same time I take my children to Scouts. I'm not fussed about electronic assistance just yet, simply picking a patch of sky & seeing what I find is sufficient at the moment, but who knows how my needs will develop over the coming years.
