G'day all, Bobj is the name, from Ball Bay, 50 km north of Mackay. Very interested in the astronomy thingy, but only ever owned a set of 10x50 binoculars.
My neighbour lent me his 4.5" newt (Dick Smith's)and, although disappointed with thedither and poor eyepieces, I'm impressed enough to see what is above.
My missus says "don't be daft" 'cos I'm not allowed out after dark
Many telescopes to choose from, so I narrowed it down to lots.......Well a few.
1. 10" Skywatcher Dob.
2. Skywatcher 2001PEQ5
3. Meade LXD75 6" with autostar,OR
4. 7 day fishing charter on MV Centurion out to the Hardline Reef.......
Being a retiree, and not too well in the strength area, which is the better one for me?
Oh, the pic....Ball Bay.
Cheers, Bobj.
