This was my first telescope. The Bresser Messier 130N Newtonian. A brilliant first scope and a stable MON1 mount. I also added an RA motor drive, and I used it nearly every clear night for about 3-4 months before upgrading.
This was a great scope, cost around £1,000. Another telescope I did not have for that long, as I decided to upgrade to triplets, as this was a doublet.
Skywatcher Equinox 66mm. A very well made telescope, another telescope I did not use much, but one I thought I would have used a lot for widefield imaging. I just did not like having an SCT end to the focuser.
