Re: [LU] Completely NON LU advice request
I'm also in the market for a telescope and in the same boat. If you could share any off list hints on list that would be awesome.

Re: [LU] Completely NON LU advice request
My dad is into astronomy and bought my son a celestron telescope for Christmas. Not sure how much he paid but it seems pretty good - you can see jupiter's 4 largest moons through it. I think there's some info on the bbc site - either sky at night or stargazing live. You could check out if there's an astronomy club near where you live, they might be able to offer advice.

With "£200 and a complete novice" we could probably get you on the board at LUFC Sent from my iPad > On 10 Mar 2016, at 13:55, David Brennan wrote: > > I had a birthday recently and got some dosh off my family and I want to buy a > telescope for star gazing. > > I've been looking on line and the choice is bewildering. > > I know there are boffins and scientists on here, and one of the best things > about this list is the knowledge members are willing to share, so does anyone > have any helpful advice on what to get?

Follow virtual Astro on Twitter. He often tweets about good telescopes.

[LU] Completely NON LU advice request
I had a birthday recently and got some dosh off my family and I want to buy a telescope for star gazing. I've been looking on line and the choice is bewildering. I know there are boffins and scientists on here, and one of the best things about this list is the knowledge members are willing to share, so does anyone have any helpful advice on what to get? I've got 200 quid and am a complete novice. Feel free to reply off list, unless you think talking about astronomy is more interesting than Leeds United (which it may well be from time to time).
