Newbie looking for owner of Nexstar 6SE/8SE/130SLT

Post by byang »

Hi all, I am starting on this hobby (again) and would like to seek out owners of the above scopes staying in CCK area, mainly to understand what they can and cannot do, before I commit to purchase one. Any kind owner who wishes to share with me on these scopes (hopefully can touch can see!), pls let me have your contact thru pm. Thanks in advance!

Hi byang,

Welcome back to the Astro community. I currently have a 6SE and won't mind showing it to you if you are willing to drop by my place at Jurong West, preferably on Friday or Saturday evenings. :)

There were no living dinosaurs back in the 80s.
