Hi everyone, im Rick i just joined up here.
Im in the process of looking at buying my 1st telescope and wanted to ask a few questions about 2 ive seen online for sale.
Now im not looking at buying anything expensive to start, want to get something that i can use and see things with and see how much of a space bug i get
The 2 that i have found are a SaxonF1149EQ and a Celestron PowerSeeker 114EQ reflector scopes
Both are listing at just under $200, 1 down from $380 the other down from $500, so im thinking sweet i can get a better scope for much less.
Wanting to know how good both these are?? Curious to know are these just on a great end of financial year sale or are they getting rid of them cause they arent that great.
Also, telescopes like these 2 and others similar, just how good and how far can you see with them?? These both say that you can see the moons of Jupiter with them and the rings of Saturn as well, which to me is awesome cause thats some of the type of things im hoping to see.
Years ago i was at the Siding Springs Observatory in Coonabarabran and got to see Saturn through 1 of the scopes the public could use and now i want to see more
Thanks in advance for any help i can get.
Rick
