Hello All,
I thought it about time to stop lurking and make my first post. Having recently got back into birding (in a very amature sort of way!) I have decided that I really must have a scope. I went down to in focus at Slimbridge who were really helpful, and tried their cheap scope (a delta 70) and an ES80 ED (with a 32x eyepiece I think). It was clear (oops - terrible pun!) that the cheap scope wasn't what I wanted, bit I really liked the ES80.
They are now offering an HR66 + 30x) tripod for £299. I won't be able to afford the ES80 this year so I am considering having the HR66 to start with. What do you all think of the HR66 please - worth having? I will of course go and have a look through one before making a final decision.
Thanks
Gary
