Hi All
My wife recently went to the Perth Observatory and loved it. I want to get her a beginner scope that fits the following criteria:
- Price Range $100 to $400 - $300 would be ideal
- Portable for camping trips
- Easy to use
- A quality scope that can see all the big things and see SOME hard to see things
I did some research and found the following recommended beginner scopes:
One
Two
Three
Four
While I do prefer four, (mainly for the Equatorial stand and its positive reviews) I cant find anyone in Aus who sells it. However number 3 appears to be a better scope and looks more portable as it is a table top.
How does number 3 compare to 1 and 2 (obviously in size)?
Can someone recommend me another scope not in the list?
Would scope 3 meet all my criteria?
