I start looking at them all in the shop and just think "WOW" I'd love em all!  |
Hi Jo and
Dont be embarrassed about your 60mm refractor
,
I started of with the same sized scope 26 years ago and still have it, but it's main use now seems to be as a a hat rack
but does still get dragged out now and again just to bring me down to earth sort of thing.
I have gratuated to over the years to a 20cm (8") SCT and and now have a 40cm (16") dob to keep me off the streets and under a dark sky
So as you can see most of us start small and gradualy get to the size scope we want after learning where we want to go in Astronomy.
So if you have any questions
don't be afraid to ask, as there is sure to be some one who will answer it for you
Cheers
