Hi Astrojunk,
Thanks for recommending that model. Its good to know what to look for a scope.
Looking at Andrews , most scope dont seem to not have ds , i assume you need to add it seperately?
Thanks,
Mel

The B600 blocking filter is worth the extra and makes the scope much easier to centre on the sweet spot both visually and photographically. I'd probably buy an even bigger BF if one existed for this scope.
The DS is critical in seeing the fine surface detail. Without it you will be looking at prominences and little else so figure it in to your purchase price. They can be in short supply too - I was lucky and got mine second hand.
