Anyone any clue where I could get a telescope? Preferably in the South Derry/Tyrone/Armagh areas.

O'Neill has discussed telescopes on a thread a few months ago (possibly the Astronomy thread).

Santa left a first class one for my son last year - the exact same was in Argos in Armagh  ;) it really is amazing.  This is the same as the one Santa left.
