Telescopes
Posted: Sat Jun 26, 2010 12:54 pm
Looking at the topic about the ISS has just jogged a braincell and prompted me to ask you good people a question.
I have been using my bird spotting scope for star gazing , but I find my self in the position to buy a proper "Star gazing" scope. Ideally one that can be connected to a laptop and automatically programmed to find certain stars/planets
The questions I have are :-
A, Does anybody know of a decent Telescope for up to £200 ?? or am I hoping for a bit too much ??
B. Does any body know of a decent web site that addresses these topics???
C. I see a few in my price range with motors attached, I assume these are just to track stars though, not to find them in the first place. ie this one

Any help will be much apprecited thanks
