Patrick, I am going to try out some of the club scopes before I buy. I just want to start looking around and pricing. And I will talk to Bill. Thanks for the help. On Wed, Mar 4, 2009 at 5:38 PM, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> wrote:
Hi Troy,
Before spending any money what's say you take advantage of your SLAS membership and start off by borrowing a scope or two from the club?
Find a list of the scopes available here: http://slas.us/membership_benefits.asp
If you're going to buy local you might want to talk to long time SLAS member Bill Cowles at the Inkley's on South State St in SLC.

Hello all. I'm new here and this is my first message.
I am going to be getting a new (at least new to me) telescope soon. I'm looking for an 8" dob that takes 2" eyepieces. What I'm wondering is...where is a good place to buy either used or new telescopes at a decent price?
Thanks for the help.
