thanks everyone for your replies, i have found them very helpful.
I find myself leaning back towards the DOB...boy, am i getting dizzy...
well, i have found a TASCO SKYWATCHER 6inch for $390 and 8inch for $440. Does anyone have any experience of these... i will presume if you all think these are a good buy that i would go for the 8 inch...
i have contacted BINTEL & ANDREWS...but they are slow to respond...or i am just getting really impatient...
either way, i haven't found the 6 inch $299 Dob...it was mentioned on this site's forums
the advantage for me of the 2 dobs i mentioned is that it is local (Brisbane) so i wont have the added postage...
what do you think, and thanks for your help
Janine
