Hey Folks,
First post here, been having a look through and getting some great info as I plan to buy first scope this week.
From my research I have narrowed it down to a Dobsonian, and would like an 8" but looks like my budget will only stretch to a 6".
My question is, can I use a Dobsonian - I'm looking at either the Saxon or Ozscopes (which look the same) - to view scenery, like distant mountains, ships etc.
Is it generally with a decent astronomical telescope that you sacrifice scenery viewing?
I appreciate there are many different scopes out there which reverse and rotate images, but if we can base answer on the one I have mentioned that'd be great.
If not, can anyone recommend a scope around the 200-400 mark that may suit my needs?
Many Thanks for reading this.
