@gcndavidmn I am really sorry about this question but here goes! Didn't you study 1 year Physics in your Grade 11 Classes & Grades 12 Classes or Grade 13 Ontario, Canada classes or is your Education System have only Physics & Chemistry in your countrie's, Universities???? Also you do NOT need Physics to become an Amateur Astronomer, ALL you need is a "Mature Mind Responsible" and to be Educated in Telescopes by an Adult, say a Father figure at your local ASTRONOMY Club!!!!

As a first scope I got a 76/700 on an alt-azimuth mount like the first one you showed. It is the best way of putting you off astronomy. The finder scope has 3 screws for 'adjustment' practically useless as it doesn't stay put. Other than looking at the moon - which was great - the mount is so awkward to point and lock. Trying to see any stars and actually focussing on them is a losing battle - every touch on the scope moves it off the target - nothing but frustration. Gonna try a different mount

@2JAMMY Absolutely know your pain! This is the primary reason why I always recommend a quality dobsonian for beginners.

Hello From Thunder Bay , Canada. I am interested in purchasing a Telescope. This will be my first Telescope. I was thinking about the 8" Dobsonian , Now I understand that is a great beginner Telescope according to your advice. My question to you is Will I be able to veiw a great deal of the nightsky in clear conditions with this large ApetureTelescope? And do they hold their Value? incase of upgrade.. : ) Thank you I enjoy your videos they are very informative..

@mamanestas I'm sure you will enjoy an 8 dob. As long as you take care of your scope properly, keeping its dust caps on, and treat the optics with even greater care you shouldn't have a problem reselling if you want to upgrade.
