Folks - I'm looking for links that give basic information to Joe Public on choosing their first binoculars or telescope.

Cheers

Dave

I've linked your telescope article.

I'll direct folks to the IFAS site for general info but I'll put a link up to Speir as well.

Do any of your issues have an article on binos? I seem to recall someone publishing one in their club mag in the last year or so....

Cheers

Dave

Al - I took a look but the shannonside article is 404....

I'd rather link to club sites and their articles than vendors. That said, I'll be giving folks plenty of links to the IFAS site where they can get plenty of info on where to buy.

And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time. . . .
