Went to Snake Valley last night. Met a great bunch of blokes. Mainly looked through Dobsonians. There were others there, like a ED80 refractor but they had trouble seeing things because the sky was a bit hazy.
I was amazed. Saw Saturn's rings for the first time, star clusters and a heap of other wonders.
So, I've narrowed my choice down.
I like the Dobsonians but Helen, my wife, would not be able to handle one so that leaves something like a Celestron C10-NGT (Newtonian) or a Celestron CPC 925 XLT. (Cassegrain).
