Thanks for that.
So far i've been looking at an 8"-10" dob, or about a 200mm tripod Newt.
Goto looks to be an option on the dobs in my budget (Just). But very little for eye pieces etc... unless someone has an awesome deal for me
I've been playing with and doing "naked eye" observations with Stellarium and a little "Cartes du Ciel"
"Crux" isn't too hard to find
Would love to get some photos of what i'm seeing at some stage but i think that's a whole other game.
