| Where
to buy? It is hard to say what a company or store will have to
fit your needs, but it can be said, almost universally, that you
should not buy a scope from a department store or liquidator catalog
like those that offer steep discounts and come every month to
your mailbox. |
One of the most candid
guides to scope buying is available on the internet. The
Heretic's Guide to Choosing and Buying Your First Telescope.
Michael Edelman suggests... wisely.. that a small budget could be
better invested: "You'd be far better off to spend your money
on a pair of 7x50 binoculars and subscriptions to Astronomy and
Sky & Telescope magazines. " |
