Hi All

My wife has showen some interest in astronomy. To tell the truth she has been interested for a while I was just a bit slow on the uptake.

Anyway question is, I rang the guys at Sirius Optics in Underwood and they suggested the Skywatcher SW680 Dobsonian as a good starter scope.

Just wanted to know if its good advice or not. The guy on the phone was very helpful and seemed genuine.

Also I am into photography so I was thinking of getting the canon adaptor kit to suit.

The scope is $495 and the adaptor kit is about $150 so I dont want to go buy it then find out it was a waste of money.

Any help would be much appriciated.

Phil
