Hi from Auckland, NZ

Heya team,

Firstly thank you for accepting me!

I am from Auckland, NZ and am looking at a scope as a gift for my mrs.
I have read heaps of helpful information from the forums and had decided on a 6" dobsonian telescope as it seems the easiest to use and best bang for buck.

I had narrowed it down to two 6” a GSO one and a Skywatcher one.

They both seem very similar besides the tension springs/handles but both are out of stock everywhere in NZ so will just grab the 1st one that comes in stock before November (girlfriends birthday). Most people do seem to prefer the Skywatcher though!

I was recommended this forum from cloudy nights hoping that something 2nd hand would pop up in NZ as there does not seem to be any forums in NZ I could find. Telescopes seem so much cheaper in Australia.

Cheers
