Hi All
Been reading lots and just so confused.
First time I am venturing into Astronomy after my Brother in Law showed me stuff through his 12" Dob
http://calgary.rasc.ca/telescope_mak...R_gussie-1.jpg
So I am hooked. Have about 800-900 budget.
The three areas and the scopes I have looked at are
1: Computerised
NexStar 130SLT
2: Dobsonian
10" skywatcher
3: Mounted reflector
200mm Skywatcher on EQ5 mount.
Not interested in planets much but rather view NGC's and M DSO. Not Interested in photography, well not yet anyway.
Interested in joining a group so transporting scope is required and live in southern Brisbane areas.
I know it really is a loaded question but can anyone provide guidance?
Also if anyone can recommend a good group to join I would be appreciated.
cheers
Dave
