Feedback on entry level scope
Hi all.
A friend of mine who is interested in getting into the game has been offerred a York Optical 4.5"(?) newt for $250 on some sort of EQ mount. Seems a reasonable deal except I suspect it is an old scope and we don't know if the eyepieces are 1.25" or the old 1" yet.
I have had a look around the various supplier web sites, and see that he could pick up a Guan Sheng GS-580 (6" dob) from Andrews for $299. Any feedback on this scope?
I don't want him to waste his money but know he will have a limited budget to start. Any thoughts would be welcome.
