Hi all,

I guess this has been done to death but I want to buy a telescope and dont
know what to get! I want a general purpose scope where I can see the rings
of saturns, nebulae and what have you. I have been recommended a meade etx
125 but that is by the guy in the shop. I was just wondering whay your
thoughts are?

personaly id say it would be ok for plantery work but being 125mm id
say its to small for any decent views of deep space objects like
nebula etc
im sure one of the others here will be along to help you more im still
learning all this myself
