Newbie - first post

Hi All,

I am Newbie getting into Astronomy and have started doing some research (thought I should before i bought a cheapie at the Geographic stores). So i've narrowed it down to a Dobsonian 8" or 10" and the 3 brands Skywatcher, GSO and Bintel. I've read alot of threads and doesn't look like theres any clear advantages between the 3 brands? maybe extra accessories? (andrewscom vs bintel).

I have not looked through any of these, I might pop into the bintel store in a few weeks though (It's about an hour drive).

Any tips and pointers would be great even if they're dead basic, I know nothing really...

oh and I'll be mainly doing it for the viewing and basic photos through a point and shoot or phone camera nothing major like those DSLR's
