Hi guys, some of you might remember me from last year, I was about to purchase our first scope a Celestron C6 SGT for christmas, it all went horribly wrong for us as I lost my job and thought OK, well hubby has had to sell his motorbike so I'm going to have to wait a bit longer for that telescope.
I'm just starting back at work and I'm just so desperate for a telescope, I've been saving hard, no new shoes, clothes etc just the bare essentials, everytime I get out there with our son I look up and wish and beg for money to fall from the sky...
Anyway, I've been on Andrew Communications punishing myself, now I have my eye on the skywatchers 114 x 900 EQ2 reflector and 130 x 900 EQ2 as they are cheap and even the guan sheng's GS-500 6", these scopes are around our price range at the moment. Thats right and Andrews also have the same Guan Sheng above for $349 complete package with a SV1 eq mount. What is a SV1???
I look at the sky every night and dream of standing out there with a scope, I have decided that a good cheap one for my family will do us until I really get into it. I don't want to spend too much as our kids are small at the moment 6, 3 and 2 are their ages and I want them to enjoy it and not have us say to them no don't touch that and this because it cost us an arm and a leg...
I think I had too much money last year and had to try and spend it on the C6-SGT, I actually cried for the whole christmas and told my family they were tears of joy
, well I have my health and this was a blessing in disguise, I've become more responsible and a bit of a tight you know what....
.
Thank you so much guys and look forward to your advice, have a fantastic and safe week and easter break to your all fingers crossed I'll be looking deep into space by then
cheers all
