New scope.

Hi All

Well i decided to buy a new scope. I was going to build a observatory, but funds will not be thier.

So I sold a couple of eyepieces and was going to buy a new wide field eyepiece. After much thought I decided to buy a wide field refractor instead

I thought i would get a lot more use out of a quick grab and go scope than a new eyepiece.

I looked around for a while and nearly brought 25x100 binocs!

But instead I brought a 120x600 SkyWatcher Refractor on a AZ3 mount. I brought it of Andrews, and I rekon I got a great deal.
All up cost shipped to me was $614

I have seen this set up for over $800

So it has been a while since i had a new scope, I'm like a kid waiting for Xmas

I just wanted a wide field scope and thought this would suit me best. When I get it i will do a review over the next month and see how it goes.
