As I had today off I decided to head over to Andrews Communication in Greystanes to have a look at the scopes on offer. The chap there was great. He spent some time showing me the various scopes on display, how to use them & so on. Unfortunately he didn't have Guan Sheng GS-680 in store for me to see but after hearing what he & you people on this forum said about it I decided to buy. So tomorrow it will be delivered with a green filter for the moon & a Collimator. I can't wait. I have to say the 8"ers are much bigger and more impressive than I imagined.
To think a few days ago I was considering wasteing $80 on an Aldi telescope and here I am now, about to take delivery of something that I'm sure will give me many hundreds of hours of pleasure as well as a better knowledge of my galaxy.
Thank you folks.
