Hey everyone,
Thanks for all your advice. I've gone out and brought the 12" Lightbridge and already had a viewing session in my backyard with it!
It's an awesome scope! Thanks everyone for guiding me in the right direction.
Now comes all the accessories. I columnated it pretty well by eye but will NEED a laser columnator. Bintel were sold out.
I will need some recommendations on some good eyepieces soon too, but thats a thread for another day...
Anyway, this site has been great for a newbie like me! I will be back here often.
Cheers
