Bruce Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hello ? I have just ordered a Orion go scope 80mm to put in our camper van for our holidays around the lake District and Scotland. Has anyone had or got one of these? They have good reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) There's a good comparison of three scopes including yours here: http://www.skyandtelescope.com/wp-content/uploads/low-cost-scopes-review.pdf Seems like a reasonably capable little starter scope and good value for money in this price range. If the bug bites, you may find yourself upgrading sooner than you thought, and it will have done it's job lol. Congrats on your purchase. ?

+seven_legs Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Hi Craig, i think that scope would give you some nice views especially from real dark skies you are going too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 Thanks guys. I wish I could take my sky watcher 150p with EQ3 mount but it's to big. So I wanted a small one to take on holiday. Can't think of a better one really for the price +seven_legs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Hello Red dwalf. That used to be my favourite TV show, Red Dwarf ??. I have a skywatcher 150p but I just wanted something for van for when we go away. No room for a large tripod once we've packed everything. red dwalf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
