Looking for something more? I have a 24 f4 (Nova -optics) portable
truss type for sale.....Really sees Mars great!! Also great on DSO's
......near photographic quality on Whirlpool, M-13, 27, whatever.
But it's not a 'beginners' scope and it certainly is more than 300
USD....more like 5995 USD. Just a thought. Scope was replaced by a
30 inch portable truss, and is only 6 years old.
Clear Skies,
Tom Whiting

I'm looking for something inititally for looking at mars, but I'll be
looking at nebulae and galaxies too later on. I was hoping to spend
about 500-600AUD (about 300US). I'd really appreciate some suggestions
(even about types would help)
