For the telescopes, I'm looking at a budget around $500
I've looked at the Australian Geographic website and I was wondering if the Starview 150EQ is worth buying
Thanks  |
Hi Jedd,
Welcome to IceInSpace
Sorry I can't help you much being that I am north of Sydney
But I agree completely with Malcolm and would suggest a trip to Camberwell to see some telescopes on the floor would be well worth it.
Better still is to get to an observing session as Malcolm said to see them in action.
Many Nat Geo scopes are good scopes, but as said, the staff are not always that knowledgeable, and their prices are higher than most other places.
I am confident you can get a good Dobsonian for your budget.
Feel free to ask many questions.
Clear skies!
