Recommendations for Newbie Telescope
Posted: Mon Jul 22, 2019 3:12 am
Hi all,
I know this have been covered by some threads within the beginners section but most of them have been dated for close to a year back. So, i implore all seniors here to bear with me....
I did 2 years of astronomy during my poly days a (long) while back and have always been fascinated. I even collaborated with some of the seniors here (I see some familiar names, lol) previously. I will like to continue what i have left off after my poly days and continue this awesome hobby now.
I will like to ask for recommendations on a telescope for amateurs. I will rate portability over cost as i may consider bringing it overseas every now and then. But i also don't want to over commit since I am pretty much out of touch. I am not very technical since the last time i touched a telescope was quite some time back but i'm sure I can pick it up back fairly quickly. May also consider doing astrophotography from time to time.
I am not asking for you guys to do my research for me, but pointing me in the direction (by throwing out some recommendations) will greatly help me in deciding which one suits my needs the most.
Appreciate your help in advance!
Thanks!
