Ty for your replys Guys.

Hey vincent, You been to pex Hill yet? Im thinking of going up in a week or 2.

I do have transport but ive been told its quite hard to get to.
If you dont drive and would like a lift up there sometime its no problem ;-)

I think as Brendon points out, I need to observe other telescopes before I make the leap. I am prepared to spend more money if needed on better equipment. However, Surley there is no better way than coming to Pex Hill to see for myself.

Ive been causing quite alot of interest from alot of my fellow electricians at work so hopefully there should be another 4/5 members joining (as well as myself).

As always guys, ty for your time its very much appreciated....

See you soon and take care ;-)

Ty very much for your advise regarding which telescope to purchase.

I have been glued to your forums all day and been taken around many other websites. I have now discovered my real ambition for my telescope. I would like to view more deep space items such as nebula and I was wondering what kind of telescope would be needed for best results. (I dont mind paying a little more if the results are good).

I have seen some amazing colourful images of deep space and wondered if the scope im after can capture such images

I intend to come visit your observatory on a Wednesday in the near future as I have alot of questions about this fascinating subject.

Ty again. Michael

Hi, I have recently become infatuated with everything above..Im 27 and From Litherland, Liverpool, I have read alot of posts about what telescope is right for a beginner. I have decided to go with the reflector version.
I dont want to spend too much on my 1st scope but i do want the best scope possible for the money. (around £200) I intend to upgrade in a year or two once i find my starlegs. Please if possible could someone recommend a scope (a link would be very handy also). Basically I wish to observe planets and would like "some" detail if poss.

Ty for your time
