donīt read on if you have already bought!

Hi Letisha,


If you havenīt bought by now consider this: Bintel - 6" SW DOB $399
It is a little more expensive but someting to hang on to for a while as you will see much more and just have to move it out-done.

The ozscope alternative is cheap but has a shaky mount, needs alignment to SOUTH celestial pole and is pretty counterintuitive in its usage (I managed to damage the altitude fixing screw on the first night out with my first eq mount cause I wanted to move it up and wondered why so much force was necessary).

when you get hooked seriously you can get a nice eq goto mount later and mount the dob on it. the whole ozscope can only be replaced.
And you wouldnīt be able to sell it as opposed to the dob.

good luck!
