JamesM Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hi Rory and welcome to the forum. Glad to hear you are doing some research before making a purchase. Can I recommend that you go along to as many observing nights that are organized by local astro societies at this time of year. All the reading that you can do won't tell you how the scope actually performs and more importantly, if it will match your expectations. Its a good opportunity to see some of this gear close up, how long it takes to set up, how easy it is to move it around and what eyepieces you are observing with - they can make quite a difference to the observing experience as well. I hope you don't mind my suggestion as there is no rush (...the stars aren't going anywhere) but its important for you to buy the most apprpriate kit for your budget and location.Clear skies and good luck with the research!James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobTheSaxon Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hi Rory,Wlcome from me to SGL - probably the best site on the web, sorry I mean definately. Don'f forget o put your marke on the map - thereshould be space up north. Maybe there are others within range of you - if there are then don't by shy about asking if they can show you their kit in action on a lear night.Clear skies.Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
