Question about telescopes
My stepson loves space and astronomy type stuff. My wife and I know nothing about it, as I am just a goofy coal miner. We are looking to spend between 4-500 bucks for a new telescope, and would like to find one that is motorized with GPS capabilities.
The planet is a large think tank with many people that have a broad interest range so surely there is an astronomy geek among us. Please help. I typed this from an iPhone so I don't need grammar lessons or anything like that. |

Yeah, you need to talk to Dave Lane. You may also want to see if there's an astronomy club in your area.

No, no. There was just something about the second major douche migration that caused me to grow weary.
Once baseball season gets going (or even NFL FA begins), I'm sure I'll be around a bit more. |
