I have an old bottom of the range 3" reflecting telescope that did not see much use. Bringing it out of the loft the mount and tripod have fallen apart.

I would lile to replace it to use with my 6yo. The mount and tripod was never particularly stable almost ruining planet gazing.

Any recommendations for an upgrade?

Don't know, but have you checked out John Lewis stores?

£200 is too cheap if you want astronomical. Try £25k 🙂

Can you connect a DSLR to take pictures?
