Hi,
Here is a view from a complete newbie.
I didn't find any problem searching the net for info on how a scope works and what to look for in a scope and which type is best suited for what I want to look at.
I've attended night viewing and looked at different scope and have an idea of what I would like.
But then, I find advice on specific model hard to come by. The above statement is exactly what I find most useful. "ED80".
May be if there is a listing of a few generally accepted/popular models for each type of a scope ( Dob/refractor/Mak/SCT), it would give a newbie some idea.
Thanks,
"O"
