Getting my first proper telescope
    #14563854 - 06/05/11 09:42 AM (12 years, 7 months ago)

Its been 20 years since my old man and me were gazing up at the Pleiades...


Back then we used a 30x spotting scope...


Never owned a proper telescope yet but i am thinking of buying one very soon.

A relfector if u will...

And im not sure, 8, 10, or 12 inches.

I can get ither Orion Sky quest 8 or 10 inches, for about 800 bucks

Or i can get a cheaper one, Meade LightBridge 10 Dobsonian Telescope for 600.

I read some reviews and every one says Orion is better "bang per buck".

Is it true?


Any tips or advice much appreciated :gethigh:

yes go with orion


iv heard problems about some of mead's dobs(general build quality)


this was a few years ago though

or yea just build your own you can buy pre polished mirrors
and the savings will allow you to go up in size




maybe not that big though lol
