Or buy my Nexstar 5i.ariefm71 wrote:Toolkit, a quick visit to Astro Scientific at the SG Science Center will give you an idea of different sizes of scopes available (but look elsewhere if you want to buy). For planetary, I would second Kayheem's recommendation of getting a 5" MCT on a Manfrotto tripod, but get the Microstar mount instead of Manfrotto head. Astrobargain has the Microstar for sale, I think.
You can browse our Buy and Sell section for well-tested and proven (aka. used) scopes and mounts.
Robert, I think your prices is in USD, so need to multiply by 1.7 :-)

Go down to the Science centre and take a look. Best you ask them what is their price of the Nexstar 5i with tripod and then come back and look at my price..hehehetoolkit wrote:Hi Guys,
Thanks for all your advice. My first step is to go the
Science Centre to view the telescope. Scopes
narrowed down to dob or SCT type.
Maybe after looking at the dob visually it will scare me
to buy a SCT Right now, my personal feelings is
I prefer to watch the skies without any computerised
help. I am trying to see if I can watch a scope
and see the first sight of the planets without attending
a sky party first ..... That will be an awesome
experience for me and the family ....
