Hi, I am a new beginner member.

I have been using binoculars and would like to purchase a portable telescope something like a Sky Watcher set-up.

So any recommendations/advice on such equipment would be most helpful.

 Thank you

Welcome. Hope you have lots of fun on the learning curve … then with your new scope.

A good place to start is on the FLO website and the section for beginners telescopes. Just click the banner at the top. 👍

Hi and welcome

I would take a look on the the new SkyWatcher Star Adventurer Gti mount and the Evolux Apos. Still brand new, so there are no experiences with it. Nevertheless, definitely worth to check.

Welcome to SGL. I would recommend that you join a local Astro group and get a feel for the kinds of equipment available.

Thank you. I have just recently joined a very friendly group - Fordingbridge Astronomy Group Hampshire.
