Completely agree. Reflector all the way.

I'm running with one of these at the moment. Link

Clearly you should understand that a cloud doesn't stay at the exact same angle, distance and proportion next to the sun for two years at sunrise and set...

Neither would a planet.

Sweet thanks for the suggestions on choosing reflector

a reply to: HawkeyeNation

A lot of people have been saying that this is a great first time reflector, it is a Dobsonian so very stable. If you got this and a 2x Barlow I think you would be a happy bunny.

Skyliner Dobsonian Reflector

It appears to be in your price range, and I checked out the user reviews. There is less need for set up with collimation, you could always buy a collimating eyepiece and still have enough for a few cans of beer out of the $500.

Good luck.

It needs to hurry the hell up
