Hi everyone,
This is my first post so I hope I’ve done everything correctly. I am aware there are some older threads asking the same thing, however I believe some details might have changed, so I thought it was worth making a new one.
I am looking into buying my first telescope and was hoping for some opinions. Originally I was looking at a refractor but am leaning towards a Dobsonian now. I am unsure of what the better option to go with is: Saxon’s 8” deep sky Dobsonian or the Bintel BT202-B 8” Dobsonian (I am looking at both of their websites to compare).
I have contacted Bintel asking them their opinion and they said their product was better than Saxon’s (not sure if that’s just the business talking up their products or if that’s the truth?). I can drive to Saxon’s store in Melbourne, whereas I can’t drive to Bintel, located in NSW, so I would have to pay an extra $50 shipping I believe.
What do you guys think?
P.s sorry for the longer post, just trying to include everything.
