After the disaster with the Aldi nat geo scope
I am heading toward what inertia8 has a "skywatcher heritage p130"
I"d love a Dobsonian 8" but a little beyond my budget $475 new and a 420k round trip to Brisbane along a potholed road then 12 ks of dirt road to my bush farm.(delivery cost works out more than petrol)
Any second hand 8"Dobs are in the $390+ range, though says it comes with $400 extras, but again a 550k drive west of Brisbane and I wouldnt know if its ok or not?

The SW heritage I can get brand new for near $245 delivered.
Also wondering if I should keep the aldi scope for its fittings 4mm and 2 x barlow plus moon filter to use with the heritage p130 (as extra lenses alone would be more than $50.
Any help appreciated.
