The Liverpool Astronomical Society

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 Michael, Stockport Binocular have a good chioce for under £200, here is a links http://www.telescopesandbinoculars.co.uk/acatalog/NewtonianReflectors.html the £155 would probably suit you best.

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

Many thanks Brendan. See you Friday.

Hi John,  the next society meeting is this coming Friday 21/11/08 7-0-clock in the Gibberd room in the Catholic cathedral (entrance via underground car park) you dont have to be invited to come along. Alternativley you can come up to Pex Hill where our observatory is any Wednesday from 7-0-clock as we are open to the public on Wednesdays.

i tried to find you guys in croxteth park once , but the gates were locked and there was no obvious way to get in so i went home
 looking at the halewood event for tomorrow i clicked on the link and the date and found a map or 3  which honestly is useless to me without a point of reference , i like to use the rac route planner.
i pasted in
Halewood Visitors Centre

but it doesnt know where it is :/

so for anybody a bit slow... like me theres the postcode
L26 7XB

im gonna try to make it and bring me lad along

cyas there
 

thx brendan, its always a major decision buying a new scope, wanted to make sure i covered all the bases before commiting, thats tipped me over the edge
cheers

Hi Vincent, one of our members has the 10" version of this scope and it is  a very good scope. The only way you will get better at that price is secondhand. Lets hope you get clear skies so you can use it  .
