Hi all
I never really add to posts, just observe, but I really want to get into astronomy and have been confused to the point of needing help...
I'm looking to buy my first telescope and would like some advice as to what would be the best to buy. I live in Brisbane and have been to visit York Optical, who unfortunately seemed to have confused me even more.
I realise the need for a minimum 6" scope, and am happy to go for a reflector. I think that I would be best suited to an equitorial mount, given the practicalities of taking it camping and to dark sights, although I appreciate there could be a learning curve here! I am looking at the Skywatcher SW500, but would appreciate any advice or alternate suggestions?
I've also been told a motor would be good, but surely its not necessary at the start?
Yours confused
Paul
