First thread for me


Looking to get into astronomy. Have a 5 year daughter who is loving looking at the heavens. Have read lots of threads and have a great chat with the guys at Andrews COmmunications in Sydney.

Two choices i believe:
1. a 76mm skywatcher for around that $249 or

2. Guan Sheng GS-600 starting at $699.00. add filters and lenses etc and freight and it is just shy of $1000.

Want to look at the heavens, not terrestrial and pick up planets, the odd galaxy etc.

Maybe even add a camera or computer link to the telescope etc

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks
