Interesting article but a bit dated and technophobic? Are these star-finding computerised mounts really so bad? And no mention of that other great telescope we all have access to...google-sky.
My son lives in the west highlands and been passed on a 4 1/2" vivitar reflector on a joke of an aluminium mount I received as a gift last year. The weight of the scope on the mount makes it so unstable it is useless. I fear I may have put my son off astronomy for life giving it to him.
