Hi, all!

Does anyone have any recommendations for a reflecting telescope?

The telescope must:
1) Have good optics.
2) Be rugged / portable.
3) ... and CHEAP!!!

Any suggestions?


Check Astromart for used equipment first, and often.

"Cheap" means Hardin Optical, Orion, Antares (to name a few of Asian origin)

Specific recommendations:
6" F8 Dob
8" F6 Dob
6" F5 EQ3

An 8" F6 Dob is considered by many the ideal starter scope.

HTH,
