I wish I could afford to buy a telescope! viewing pics on the internet is ok, but nothing beats seeing things for real.
anyone got any advice on buying a cheap but 'does the job' telescope? brands/models etc.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 49363935 Well for seeing ISON in the eyepiece I would recommend a dobsonian telescope. Orion makes some good dobsonians, buy the largest you can afford. If portability is an issue, buy a truss tube dobsonian. Orion makes some, but they're all larger scale and higher price. Meade's lightbridge scopes are cheaper but probably don't meet the definition of "cheap." Quoting: Dr. Astro Thanks for the info ASTRO...how about this one? a good one as first time choice? [ link to www.telescope.com] Thanks for your advise ![peace](/sm/peace.gif) Quoting: Orvontonian That's a fine choice for a first telescope to get your feet wet in the hobby.
