It's been many years since I've been there  but my wife keeps on about going there in the  motorhome. I have fond memories of Craster and Seahouses and the biggest skies I've ever seen in the UK.

Welcome to this place.

Hello and welcome to the forum. If you are referring to the 200p dobsonian here: 200p, then that is a superb option for a first scope but I would recommend going to the getting started section here getting-started-equipment-help-and-advice/ and take some additional advice and information before you push the button just to be sure. 

The rmembers of this forum are great and helpful people and will happily impart their wisdom to help you make the right decision "before you part with your cash.

Welcome to the forum and Happy Christmas 😊.

Yes, you live in a lovely county..we were up there two weeks ago in Warkworth and Amble visiting friends and were lucky enough to have a nice unexpected session with binoculars whilst there.

Good luck with finding the right first scope for you, you've come to the right place for helpful advice..👍
