Hi All,
Thought I would also introduce myself. I am Sam (yes I hate saying that
) from the northern suburbs of Perth.
As a young kid I use to look through my dads 4" reflector and be amazed at what I could see. Now as an adult with my own children, that interest it rekindling.
Like so many others here, I am trying to work out what telescope I should buy. On one hand I am more than happy with the idea of a 6" or 8" dob to reacquaint myself with the sky. But equally I know that I ultimately want to be able to photograph what I see (as someone who already does terrestrial photography). And with only a limited budget, it is a conundrum where to start.
I would appreciate people opinion on this one (have been looking at second hand listings, but as most of them are east coast shipping tends to kill the total price).
Cheers
Sam
