Quite a few years ago I owned a Pentax refractor (70 or 90mm) and really enjoyed viewing the night objects. The telescope cost about $600 when I purchased it in the 1980's. It seemed all telescopes were expensive at the time, except for Tasco brand but I kept away from them.
I think I will probably buy through the classifieds because there are some good buys to be had and some great gear.
It has been cloudy of late here in the day time so not much solar viewing happening. The pics in your images section are amazing - especially the sun in Ha and this is why I got back into astronomy but with the Lunt telescope, 60mm.
Regards Paul
