Finally Bought Telescope was created by jmcc5
Once again I would like to thank everyone who gave me info on the various telescopes available. Last Friday I took the plunge. I purchased a Celestron 11" SGT from Astronomy Ireland (collected it directly). Telesope is now assembled and now I'm patiently waiting for thoses elusive clear skies. Will let the boards know what I think of the scope having upgraded from an 8" Starhopper. Didn't realise how big the telescope actually is once assembled (looked smaller on a monitor). Once again thanks all
