Still deciding what to do
Hi everyone.
So far I'm looking at 8" goto collapsible Skywatcher (approx $1400 at most sites I've visited), 10" non goto collapsible or 12" full tube. I've got a spreadsheet with all types of scopes but have narrowed down to these three I think. The 8" goto is at the top end of my budget allowance.
I have researched prices as below:
8" goto Skywatcher (my preference of the three): $1399 at Astroshop, Astro Petes, Andrews and Ozscopes.
10" colapsible Skywatcher: $999 Astroshop, Andrews, $1030 Ozscopes and $785 Astro Petes.
12" full tube (second choice): $849 Bintel.
What is the general concensus on these choices? I understand the bigger the better. I won't be transporting outside the backyard so that shouldn't be something for me to worry about.
I currently have a 4" Skywatcher on EQ mount. I'll use that should I go anywhere.
Regards
Scott
