FWIW. Here's another link to help the newbie with their choices of which t'scope will suit them.

I reckon that this is a topic that should become a sticky if enough people add their "best" links to articles etc...

I agree.. i'd actually prefer if we had a "what telescope should i buy" article written locally to put on the site locally..

But it requires someone to do all the writing work.. and i don't have time.. i still have to do the EQ platform review, a how-to for using registax, and many other things

I don't mind doing the write-up on which scope to buy!

BUY A DOB!

There you go, print that.

That's a Tony-style write up, Ken!

As you can see, I seem to have acquired pretty much one of every type of telescope that is usually recommended to beginners. I've been toying with the idea of writing a comparison article (written, naturally, with inimitable pith, wit and wisdom). If I get it down, I'll send a copy to you, Mike, to see whether you deem it worthy of a spot on your cobweb.

Cheers,

Brian.
