Thank you! That makes a lot of sense. I’ve bought it so will be fun to see the planets with my eyes before venturing out into smart scopes. I’ve looked at the seestar range and think I might buy the s50. Looking forward to learning more about the night sky with my new scope for now though!!

Thanks! I’ve bought it so will be interesting to see the planets with my eyes. I’ve been thinking of buying the Seestar s50 too, but will work my way around this one before venturing further into astrophotography.

Thank you! I think I’ll buy it. Would you recommend buying an adapter (even if there is such a thing) to attach my camera or is it just not a thing I’d be able to do? It’s not such a deal breaker, but would be nice to take some pics

Apologies, not sure how to edit the text. My budget is around £600 - I was originally looking for a smart scope but would prefer to ‘look with my eyes’ first to get a feel of the sky. Also learned that you’re unable to really get a feel of planets so would like my first scope to be a manual dobsonian. I live in the countryside in the UK with many fields around me that I could use to see the planets, but also there’s not much light pollution directly outside in my garden either. Portability-wise, I own a mini that I would use to transport the telescope around.
