My father-in-laws birthday is fast approaching and my sister-in-law has had the idea of giving him a telescope as a gift to which the three "kids" and partners will contribute.
A friend of her partner has apparently e-mailed Patrick Moore and he has recommended a 'scope for just over £100. This seems a little fishy to me, both getting in touch with PM and him recommending such a cheap 'scope, if indeed he recommended one at all.
The 'scope will be living on the Island of Tiree where its going to be used for Stargazing (its very dark there) and looking at ships out at sea.
The budget I have in mind is about £300.
Ta in advance for your recommendations and witty comments.
