Heyy, I've had a telescope before and know how to use them.
Has anyone got any advice on a second model that I could get for my second telescope.
Between the price range of £100-£200.
thanks guys :P

This is a good one...

...but I would spend the extra 80 quid and get this one.

this is good advice. Dobsons make wonderful starter scopes.

An 8" cat is a very good scope. Can be had for under 2k on ebay. A 6" cat can often be had for under 1k on ebay. I would advise against going over 8" due to portability issues.
