Neuropsych asked:


I’ve looked at other home-jobs, but they bought their lenses and stuff. I think it’ll be less expensive to grind my own. I have a year to work with. However, I move a lot because I cannot find any peace and quiet and I can only sleep at night (Neurological issues) and I never know where I’m going to live next, so it must be rugged and portable.

I’ve looked at a lot of telescopes, and lowered my options down to two, the Orion SkyQuest XT6 Classic Dobsonian Telescope, and the Orion StarBlast 6 Astro Reflector Telescope. They have the same price only the starblast is a “best seller”. I’m only a beginner in astronomy and this is my first telescope well… second but i returned the first because it was a horrible telescope…
