Welcome ben, I'm Dave. Have a great stay here at SGL

[Astro_Baby]

Wavies from me too :wave: - Telescope budget ? What my real one or my fantasy one ? So far I have spent a small fortune BUT - there is an end in sight ( all I need now is GoTo upgrade for the HEQ5, Televue Ethos 13mm, Pentax 30mm, Solid machined dovetail bar, rotating tube rings, just a few thous worth you see :scratch: )

[lightspeed05]

im already feeling at home

and btw every1's dream telescope is thousands upon thousands of pounds

and thats not including the mount
