Hi to all the Aussies on these groups,
I am new to astronomy, and would like to buy my first scope.
I am after a 6" or 8" Newtonian. I have a choice of the following
brands:

Tasco
York Optical
Starspanner
Scanner

Any ideas as to which is the best quality in optices and tripod ect. ?
I am not experienced and don't have anyone to recomend a brand (the
shops are biased). So I would appreciate any responces from Aussies
that are using these brands, or if you want to recomend another brand
(eg Meade ect).

Any responces would be appreciated.

Regards

Attila

no way, get a celestron
