Thoughts on Skywatcher Sw 102
Hi everyone , I am new to this forum an astronomy in general.
So don't be surprised if I ask something stupid. Ok.
I want to buy a refractor telescope & tripod not more than $700 for general sight seeing , bird watching from long range and wildlife observation from long range, whale watching , that kind of stuff. Also something that I can have a casual look at the moon and maybe the sun with the correct objective filter .
I was thinking the Skywatcher Sw 102 on the AZ3 mount.
It will be carried in the car tripod in the boot and scope in the back seat area in a protective case .
I don't want a heavy tripod as I am not young and my back is not great .
I may have to carry the tripod while my wife carries the scope for short distances in the bush but mainly it will be set up not far from the car .
Is this scope a reasonable choice for the situation mentioned ?
