![]() | An example of a good Scope! (not a supermarket one):- Skywatcher ST80, a small simple refractor. priced at £110. This scope is not for sale in your supermarket - but it will perform! |
![]() | This is not a cheap or unknown scope: the Skywatcher 150mm reflector - £280. An additional cost maybe, but a scope that will last a lifetime, and a good standard for portability, ease of use and good optics. |
![]() | Every year Lidl's sell Bresser binoculars. At less than £30 they are a bargain and excellent starter Bins. But you will need to pay at least double for a decent pair. |
