Thanks Colin for your encouragement which i need haha! im still deciding but will probably get something this year!!
Thankyou Aiden for your insightful post, yea im mainly looking at planetry viewing but could be swayed on dso as i havent looked through a decent telescope. ill take your word and keep doing some more research
Hey Rob i agree i think its a great idea i come and visit you guys on the heights night to have a chat and check it out! ill suss out assa and join for sure Rob cheers see you next friday! when what time is it ok to come down?
also thanks dean for your take on eye pieces too, im still not sure if its worth getting something crazy as a 6mm (u could be right i probs might get disapointed with viewing conditions and blurryness and can achieve something simmilar with a 2x barlow) will definatly suss out the 26mm instead of the 6mm now!
