New Here
Hi
I would like to support the two previous posts
My advise to would be to stay well clear of the 76mm scope
My society here in Brisbane have been running nights for the general public twice monthly for the last 7 years.The number of times we have had to attend to these types of scopes were the first timer brings one along to these nights, and try to teach them how to use the scope that either has a wobblie mount or cheap plastic eyepieces with bad eye relief can put you behind the eight ball let alone start to show them the night sky
My advise as the previous posts suggest is to find a Society and have a look at the Dob and at least ask if you can have a go with one.
You will be surprised with the ease of use of the Dob, as there is no setting up just sitting it down and start observing.With the Equatorial the scope has to be roughly polar alligned for visual and also the scope has to be balanced.
Regards
Dave
