I'm going to buy a telescope... Any astronomy nerds here have a recomendation??
« on: June 12, 2014, 09:28:20 AM »
I've been looking at reflector telescopes in the $450 range... I will probably by extra lenses and some sort of mount for a phone/camera to take pics.  I've seen a couple in that range that have computerized controls and will keep objects in frame.  Anyone have any experience in such matters?  I am really excited to nerd out at Alex's pond at night while you guys are harvesting your drugs and fornicating in the pond.

I have no advice to offer, but endorse this as a very worthwhile investment.
