Hi everyone,
I've been an avid user of stellarium and other sky watching apps for a few years, getting events through and looking at them at best through an old pair of binoculars.
I got to thinking last night waiting to spot some of the Draconids, I should really just get a telescope. Queue being up till midnight watching all the usual suspects on YouTube trying to understand what I would need.
I gathered
Sky-Watcher Startravel 80 OTA
Celestron AstroMaster 70AZ/Sky-Watcher Mercury-707 AZ
Or a Dobsonian would be great entry points at the sub £200 level. Is there anything I should be looking out for, maybe some good search terms for eBay.
I'm mainly looking to use it for looking at events like lunar eclipse or convergences as well as the planets and the moon
