Just voted. Put down Newt on an Eq mount, but I have a loan scope at the moment from the ASV which is an 8" Dob. I use that every clear night as it so easy (sore knees notwithstanding) I also own a little Meade ETX 70 refractor that I bought at Vicsouth second hand a few months ago that I have started to do a bit of imaging with, so while I have the dob and the ETX is still new, the poor old newt sit all lonesome!

Lol!! I'm greedy! I have 10in & 8in reflectors, both for imaging on EQ mounts. I have an 80ST refractor for guiding, a 102 refractor for wide field imaging on an EQ mount, and an older LX90 8in for my grab and go visual scope. Works for me!!

This isn't fair.
My main scopenow is an ED127 that i have only just received. It is great.
I also have a 10" dob on a rotating table which is just fantastic.
I want a C11.

I'm a beginner with a 130cm reflector on an equatorial mount, bought for me by my family.
I'm totally happy with what I've seen so far, but don't mind saying I would LOVE an 8-10 inch Dob.
I'm going to buy a BIG piggybank!

Sig says it all. One I use most is the 150 newt, with the 250 Dob a close second.

G'day All,
After joining the local astronomy club here in wollongong i have looked around to purchase my first Telescope, I am edging towards a Guan Sheng GS-980 12" Deluxe as it is at a great price, Can anyone tell me if they are familiar with the scope and also what would this scope usually be worth retail?? If anyone can help it would be much appreciated, Aaron

A couple of people in our club have these (GSO's). They seem to give good bang for the dollar, it would be a good buy. Should be looking near $1200 with a starter kit (eyepieces , moon filter, etc..)
