  1. Don't know what most of these are, will need to do my research lol! I think I will be pretty happy with something I can photo the planets with.
  2. Thank you Cosmic Geoff, I will check out that book. Maybe I would be better off starting with something that's more for the planets, before deep space stuff. Thank you for the insider info! Hi Happy-Kat, most of the observing would probably be at my house, within 40 meters and at ground level of where the telescope would be stored. On occasion I might venture out to somewhere else for something specific!
  3. Hi everyone, I just joined this forum today because when I was googling telescopes I saw for sale - there were discussions about some of them on here! I used my optical zoom old-as digital camera to photograph the recent eclipse (and the Saturn-Jupiter conjunction last year) and really want to be able to take some nicer photos. I would like a telescope that allows me to take colour photos of what I'm seeing. I would like one that can track the object (that would be required to photograph a galaxy wouldn't it? As it's moving out of frame too quickly?). I don't want one that is fully digital operated where you just "press a button" and the software does everything - I'd like to find objects myself but then be able to allow the telescope to track them. I'm mostly interested in the planets but also some of the more visible galaxy cluster things. I can spend up to about $1500 - $2000. One that I've seen for sale "like new" second hand was a Sky-Watcher 200P telescope with EQ5 DUAL SPEED REFLECTOR STEEL TRIPOD. For something so expensive it's hard to find layman's terms what you're actually getting and what it can and can't do. I saw a link for that telescope to this page and the photos it takes looks pretty amazing https://astrocasto.blogspot.com/ Any advice would be awesome!
