thanks guys

Ok...so i spent the day at work daydreaming of telescopes (is this normal..laugh) and thought of the reason behind why i wanted the sw500 and it was cause...I like the look. Just imagining it in my lounge...

But so many threads here have the term 'bang for your buck' and positive comments on dobs.

So yes, reasoning has prevailed (worked out its no good to me if i cant use the thing) and ive decided on a 10inch dob from bintell.. Ive gone back and read the thread "Ive decided on a dob which one" and realise that i should be able to manage moving it. There are so many useful tips on here on how to & realistically if i can manage to get my canoe on roof racks the dob should be ok.

Now i just have to get paid this week and order it...I have a fornights holiday coming up so i hope to have it by then. Im pleased i finally made a decision on which one. It seems to be one passion where you are spoiled for choice.

Again thanks guys for your input & taking the time to answer. It really does help to think if i get stuck someone will point me right, especially when i get it.
