Cheers Brian
When I bought the Pentax I knew nothing about telescopes and then I bought Collins Guide to Stars & Planets. The book said a 4" scope was minimum for astronomy so I became a little disillusioned with my telescope - although I had it for over 10 years and regularly viewed through it. I bought it because of the name. At the time I was earning about $300/week as a postie so it was a big purchase.
Today, I was offered a Saxon maksutov-cassegrain telescope, just the tube. It is either a 6" or 8". I have looked through this scope a few years ago and it seemed ok but not as good as the Pentax (from memory). But it is cheap price and will do for now. I will be sitting it on a Celestron cg4 mount. Hopefully, it will be stable enough - I am only doing visual, no cameras.
However, I am interested in a couple of telescopes in the Classifieds. I will make a new post in Equipment section. I have some queries for which will suit me best.
Thanks
