What kind of pc laptop would work with this scope?Dumb question with computer control are you able to view what scope is looking at with the laptop screen?

You can connect the scope to a PC with a serial Port, or a serial to USB convertor, with the right cables.

All this allows you to do is control the Scope from a Program like Stellarium or Carte du Ceil. which is very hand in the right situation.

As for viewing on a screen what your scope is seeing, It does not really work like that.

You can attach a Webcam to your scope and film say the moon, the results dont look that hot on the PC screen untill you run the captured AVI file through a program like Registax, which basically can make a single image out of all the data provided in the AVI
