HI there,
I recently got into astronomy and bought a 6 " dob. Ive been telling my dad about it and he sounds interested so its his birthday coming up and I was thinking of getting him a scope. I was thinking of getting him one of the tabletops for 2 reasons
1.) easy to use/setup.
2.) cheap. I dont know if hes gonna get hooked like I am so didnt want to spend too much. If he likes it he can get himself a bigger/better scope.
I dont know if they are any good so, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with these. I am looking at the following scopes.
orion 90mm starmax mak-cas

National Geographic 114/500, Is this a toy??????

Orion Skyscanner 100

or anything else that you guys could suggest. probably like to keep it under $200.
