Hi guys, ordered a scope it is a 200mm 8" DOB, focal length=1200mm.
it's a saxon brand, (went to the batsc shop today chose the scope and will arrive wed/thurs and will pick up next sat, can't wait that long i am gonna burst)
.
cost $700, hope i made the right choice
Being my first scope ever i hope it will serve me well, and gives me "bang for buck".
You are right iceman i should and will go star parties and viewing nights, also have being encouraged to join a society to develop the hobby.
So v.v excited.
The adventure begins
