currently holding a Celestron First Scope (like Gary's loan unit) its kind of a hassle to bring it to an open field to do some celestial viewing so it's mainly a bedroom window viewing.
instead of buying a new scope from the shop (who doesn't like unwrapping a new scope), i am thinking of "adopting" scopes that are still in good condition (not necessary mint) but have been shelved up for some time to let them once again proudly peer into the night skies again.
Specs
Type: Newtonian (preferred)
Aperture: between 114mm and 130mm (4.5 inches to 5 inches)
Budget: SGD 200 ~
Tripod: AZ mount (preferred)
Total Weight: about 9kg ? (Scope + mount)
I have a friend with a refractor so i am trying to get something different. I am open to choices and also willing to listen to any comment. i want something i can carry to join stargazing sessions. not too heavy, maybe til i get my own car or something..
