Nope

Assuming for visual, buy a dobsonian, the biggest you can.

you got any dobs in mind? I am looking for one that's around £100 to £210

It's 309£, worth the extra bucks

These are through my 8 inch Orion Dobsonian.

The lunar shots were using my phone through the eyepiece and the planets were using a very cheap webcam. You'll get views that are pretty close to these using high power eyepieces.

The planets may be less sharp than in these images as they were sharpened in post processing

The 6 in skywatcher or Orion 8 in

#

The 6 in may be better for starting out as it's much lighter

lethal tiger
#

It's an 8"

#

For a good price i must say

humble fjord
#

8 in is a good middle ground

lethal tiger

rocky steeple
#

alright

lethal tiger
#

Tbh the link i sent you should be a very good scope with a good price too

#

It seems to be on a disscount

#

Because the 150/1200 is 309£, not a big difference at all
