Hi Ian, yes, that is the best way forward, Sunderland AS should be able to help you.  There is so much choice out there and sometimes it depends on what you want to see (a large reflector for DSO's (deep sky objects, for example) to an extent that many of us end up with more than one scope.  Wish we had dark skies here, I live right in the centre of town so have to go out to the countryside for darker skies, which is no hardship.  Good luck!

Hi, Ian, and welcome to SGL.

You can't beat in-person advice and joining an AS is a great start. Get plenty of advice before spending your hard-earned pennies on a scope (I spent my first few decades in this hobby with nothing more than a pair of 7x50 binoculars).

Enjoy the journey.
