Title: Help Post by: trevor on 30-Apr-2009 18:55:41 BST Hi I am after some help. I have been looking for some time for my first scope, I have found on ebay 6" reflector for £65, it says its a zenith. Can any body advise on this model as I cannot find any information on it anywhere. I suspect for the price its not that good?
Thanks in advance.

I think getting over might be awkward as I live a fair distance away. Budget wise I am not looking at to much over the £100 mark. Really trying to get the best value for money, its something I would like to take away in the caravan, became interested when I noticed how many stars there are when out of the city. So I guess portability is another thing I would need to consider.
