Best new scope
Hi, I have been looking at buying my fist scope and would love to hear what people would recommend, I want something hopefully under $1000, I am currently thinking
-Saxon EQ5 Reflector
-Celestron Omni XLT 127 Cassegrain
Or even -Celestron Nexstar 130 SLT Computerised
I originally thought one with Go To capabilities would be good as I have three kids and thought it would save time but I think I have decided that the extra money would be better spent on more aperture I really want to WOW them with what they see, and you have to buy accessories like battery packs, and I think a Dobsonian would be too large to haul around.
I live in a remote area so I cannot view any scopes in person to get a better feel, so it's all just speculation on my part.
Would love anyone's suggestion of possible scopes I have not mentioned or from anyone who has one of the ones I did.
Cheers, Janelle
