Experts in astronomy and telescopes, please help!?
i am buying a telescope and my price range is around 220$. i have decided that i am either getting the Orion StarBlast 4.5 Astro Reflector Telescope or the Orion SkyQuest XT4.5 Classic Dobsonian Telescope. which one should i buy? and various reviews say that i should buy a barlow lens and a light filter. what ones should i buy and where can i get them? take price into account. please no lazy idiots making pathetic attempts to be witty, it grows tiresome.
Well, …, is there any way you can save your money just a little longer and get the Orion XT6 (at $279.95)? You really need a 6″ mirror for deep sky observing. It’s an excellent scope, worth saving for, and it will give you many years of trouble free observing.
I beleieve the scope comes with a 26mm plossl eyepiece. If your money is tight (an whose isn’t these days), you can always by extra lenses and a barlow lens later. For now get the scope and learn how to use it before buying a bunch of eyepieces.
