Hey guys,
I've been reading for a bit but now I need some advice.
Im beginning to understand more and more about focal length and diameter etc.
And I see everyone reccomending Dobs. But ive seen them and they dont seem like a portable option.
Reason I ask is I live in a high density area with not much room to move. I would be wanting take it up to a lookout like Mt Cootha, or even throw it in the back of the truck when i go out bush camping (which is faily often). Also I plan on keeping it for a while and using it for when i own a bit of acreage out west in the distant future (will probably upgrade by then anyway).
But I dont want to be spending more than $400. I dont want something that im going to get frustrated with. And I dont want something too massively bulky so that I can transport it with minimal worries.
Im a big bulky guy so i can handle carrying something weighty but it would be embarassing lugging this big thing up to Mt Cootha in front of everyone. That would just look silly.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks
