Default Shopping telescopes.

It seemed like a good idea to me, I bought the Orion 6 x 30 right
angle finder scope last evening. Figured a newbie like me should have
as wide a field of view as possible. 7 degrees versus 5 for the model
you mention.

Thanks.

The only input I have is that Orion makes a really nice 9X50 right-angle
finder that fits right on most Orion scopes. I put one on my newtonian dob
and I love it. Under $80 (US) if I remember right.

I could never use a straight-through finder with my back. (Well I COULD, but
not for long....).

Cheers.
