Started out wanting my own telescope to take photos.
Started to research your site, magazines etc. and realised that it was a tad too technical for me. Looking at photos of Dobs I thought that a Dob needed to sit on a table to get it high enough for me to see through it!!!! Saw them in Bintel in the city in Sydney when I visited in Jan - well you can imagine how I felt!!!!. Tested lifiting the 8" and 10" and the 12". Isn't tooooooo heavy! Realise its a bit big for me but Dad has worked out the logistics of a trolley -for the backyard and I have measured the Toyota and it should be OK. Lots of black sky out here near Coonabarabran.
Just love the photos of peoples telescopes and the stuff needed for those other scopes and I think I've made the right decision. Maybe when I am more experienced I may change my mind.
