Hello and welcome to SGL from a fellow newb!

[kharga]

Well, visited an astronomical shop in south Manchester today with £500 in my pocket. After being in the shop for at least 10 minutes, and being totally ignored by the 2 staff (who were not dealing with anyone else, on the phone etc) I walked out!

I had a look at the Skywatcher Skyliner 200P Flexitube in Stockport, only to find that the base will not fit through the door of my motorhome. So, rethink time!! I am now thinking of the Skywatcher Explorer 200P EQ5. I have had a look on the forum here and it seems a reasonable startes scope within my budget and will fit in the motorhome! Any comments welcome.
