Are you in a position to attend astro gatherings such as club meetings or star parties to help get the most out of your time and equipment. Another potential is for a truss tube style dobsonian in a 12 + inch aperture. Easier to transport and requires minimal setup.
Hi Mick,

I dont mind setting it up at all... Once i learn how to lol.
Yes i will definitely be wanting to attend star parties once i get the new scope, because i am sure i will need all the help i can get.

Also i will be looking at the telescopes that you have recommended.

Thanks for you reply
