Thanks everyone for your kind help. I have a pair of recently bought 25x70 binos to start playing with once the clouds in sydney bugger off.
I have been trying to join ASNSW for over a month but their website doesn't seem to be accepting applications, nor do they reply to emails so not sure what is happening there.
The one on the 4th sounds good but I'm babysitting that night and driving to VIC early the following morning, but I'm sure there will be other I can get to.
I am leaning towards a solid tube 8" dob atm, which leaves me the possibility of EQ mounting it later in life. I have a decent sized car and i'm a big guy so carrying it around over the collapsible shouldn't pose too much of an issue for me.
Much difference between the skywatcher, saxon, and bintel branded ones? They seem to be the main three solid tube 8" dobs i can find around at the moment.
