Advice on telescope purchase
Hi
I am interested in Astronomy, and would like to purchace a telescope - at the moment I only have a 'toy' one, which doesn't provide very good viewing. Do you think that this is a good telecope: 660x maximum magnification - optimum usage up to 200x. 60mm objective diameter. 800mm focal length. Interchangeable 1.25in eyepieces. H25mm/28x, H12.5mm/64x and SR4mm/200x, 6x 24mm finderscope, 3.3x barlow lens. Full length aluminium tripod with Alt Azimuth mount. Micro altitude control. Precise rack and pinion focusing. 1.25in diagonal mirror. Accessory tray. Moon filter. Solar projection screen. It costs £80 from argos (http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/st...ay?storeId=100 01&langId=-1&catalogId=1001&productId=64081) I am on a fairly limited budget, so I am happy with the price, but do you think it's worth it? (it is also avaliable from Amazon, but it is more expensive and less convinent) Thanks, Larry |
