Hi all,
Now this is the scope I may be getting. It is called the Guan Sheng GS-680 8" and it is a dobsonian. Now it is advertising on the site that it is the newest model and it is $449 AU dollars. It also comes with 3 GSO Plossl eyepieces which is a good deal.
But would this scope be good for me as I want to see deep sky objects and also the planets. I know that the bigger in aperture you go the more you will see but is this big enough to see deep sky objects. Oh and it also comes with a moon filter which is sweet. Honestly i think it is a good buy for me but would you guys think it is a good buy for a beginner like me. I've had a telescope in the past and use it here and there but it isn't great just a telescope that i got in a national geographic magazine from like 10 years ago.
And the picture of the telescope it below
It was found a a website a fellow member shared with me on here, this is the link:
