Theres loads of decent second hand cars out there, any of them will probably be fine ! The hard part is something that no one here can help you with, and thats finding a good one ! My recommendation would be a Peugeot 306 diesel. They're about group 3 for insurance, and a nice "Meridian" spec...

Yes ! A hoya one !! Others may be as good, but thats the one I've got and it works.

I joined here back in 2007 after buying a Panasonic DMC-FZ50 bridge camera and finding the site via a Google search !! I posted some pics I'd taken with the Panny and got some great feedback off members here and quickly learned an awfull lot. "Big "UP" to TP there" :D then. After a while...

I bought a t ring and adapter to use my Canon 400D on my Astromaster 130 telescope. I can't get the camera to focus at all. The above affair leaves the camera 4 or 5 cm's away from the edge of the focusing barrel on the scope. But in order to get focus, the camera needs to be...

My boss has 4 private plates ! 400J 400S 400 20 What do I win ?

Can I also confirm that today, I loaned one of the mums at school £1 because she didn't have her purse on her ! I dont expect she will acknowledge this message because she's not a member here, but hey ho, at least I told you lot.....

What dealer ? I bought it from Amazon.. But yes, There is a "T" adapter which you can use to mount the camera body to the scope. I havn't bought an adapter yet, I'll get used the night sky and the scope before I start taking pics. !!

OK, Thanks to everyone with your suggestions and advice ! I've gone for a Celestron Astromaster 130EQ ! £120 from Amazon ! Being a numpty though, and in my rush, I ordered the one without the motor drive. It is available seperately so I'll get one next pay day ! Thanks again !!

If I always took my camera with me, I'd have several thousand shots of squirrels and blackbirds. If I took your jouney to work, then yes I would probably take my camera with me ..... .... except its illegal to stop on the motorway to take pics. etc etc etc

Sorry I've not been here for a while, hence no reply ! Thanks Splog, Moonhawk and Mischief ! I'll not be rushing out to spend my £100 now, I think I'll try and get a bit more cash before I start spending ! Be in touch !

Hmm, Thanks for the advice, keep it comming. Spolg, I didnt have a particular model in mind, just wanted something decent for around the hundred quid mark...... Mischief, you say the one you bought was a waste of money, is there anything specific to avoid then ? Thanks again ....

I'm looking at buying a used telescope for about a hundred quid. I've seen a few "Meade" ones on a well known auction site that I like the look of. Are these any good, they certainly look that part. The other I've seen is Celestron, but I've heard these are more "beginner" than actual...

Shall I get your coat DM ? Aww c'mon, while its christmas, have some Jake Shimabukuro on me ! Happy New Year fella !!!!!! puSkP3uym5k

I read the thread title far to quickly. My brain filled in the gaps and ........... well, can you see where this is going ........ ?
