Gee, what happened to the days when newbies bought binoculars, then a 60mm refractor or 4.25" reflector to start out with

It seems the influx and easy availablility (and good prices) of better gear has made it easier to start with what we used to dream of

I remember when a HUGE 10" dob was only in American Astro magazines and was something to drool over but was too expensive to import!

Go for it Sitt, big is nice, but check out the whole range before committing

It nice these days to have more to pick from than the old 60mm Refractor and the 4.25" Reflector
