Well, I have sold my very old Optolyth TBS80, pre-flourite scope and my spacemaster, with the intention putting the money toward something more up to date with later coatings / glass. I don't know a lot about scopes, and I am in no hurry, and I don't mind waiting for a good pre owned scope to come up, my thinking is something like an angled Swarovski ATS / ATX maybe. What I have no idea of, would that be better than for example a new Opticron or Celestron etc, or even the new Optolyth's, which may cost less. Although not so keen on Optolyth simply because they have no UK agent anymore. The only other thing, is I would also want it versatile to use for a bit of star / moon gazing now and then too. Price wise, well anything from around £600 up to about £1200, Any reccomendations welcome based on experience , just to give me food for thought, although i'm aware from my binocular experience a lot may be down to personal preference, I have bins in my collection that I like which some people detest.
