If you're near to Stockport, you can also try Birdnet Optics, binoculars, telescopes, accessories & books in Buxton.

BTW, I've seen some comments about a larger scope always being brighter than a smaller one. This is definitely not true. Many of the cheaper 80mm scopes are not anything like as bright as the medium priced 60mm scopes! It all comes down to the quality of the lenses and coatings used and the degree of tolerance in setting the lenses into position.
