Hey guys,
I'm looking at investing in a Telescope in the near future.
Does anyone here have one or give me some advice / tips on what to look out for when buying one?
I'm looking at a budget of around £150 - £200.
Are there any websites where I could perhaps see examples of what kind of view I would be likely to get through any particular telescope?
What kind of features can I expect?
Automatic tracking (motorised)?
Automatic finding (motorised)?
Possible to take a picture through? - I've seen a couple that have said they just put their iPhone up to their eye piece and managed to get quite a nice result but is there anything within that budget that would allow me to use my DSLR? - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/customer...LL6RS/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_2?ie=UTF8&index=2
Essentially I know absolutely nothing about telescopes but just lately when taking the dog out for a walk in the evening the sky has been really clear and the moon / stars have looked lovely and I've always been interested in space and stuff.
