Karen Gosling Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Hi. Absolute beginner here. Am looking for a decent secondhand telescope. Any advice would be appreciated. Do not want to spend a fortune as money short and don't know whether I will continue with this hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweller25 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Hello Karen and welcome to SGL If you can find one of these they are very good all rounders..... https://www.firstlightoptics.com/beginner-telescopes/skywatcher-heritage-130p-flextube.html Or you could just pop along to your local astronomy club ? Binoculars are good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricochet Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 What sort of budget are you thinking of? If you are looking for second hand equipment then the best place to look is the classifieds section on this website. Alternative places to buy second hand directly from other astronomers are Astrobuysell , ebay and some Facebook groups, but you will have to be more careful with those places. There are also a few of the established astro retailers who have started dealing in second hand equipment, but you will pay higher prices for the security of buying from a business.
