Beginner wanting to buy a telescope is as good case?
What http://cgi.ebay.com/1200-90-Seben-Comet-Maksutov-Cassegrain-Telescope-New_W0QQitemZ380173764722QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item58841f4872 Can I see do with it?
★ I suggest that you join a local astronomy club or astronomical society before you spend your money a real telescope. There are many different types of scopes and what is perfect for one person to another is not perfect. Each has its own set of eyeballs and no two equal. If you join a club, you can attend some of their star parties and try out the scope to see what works best for you, before buying a scope. Members also can help you when you get your scope and show you how to get the most out of your new scope and to help show you where the treasures are found in heaven. Most clubs have provided scopes and extensive libraries that you can get more information from as well. Most clubs will have monthly membership meetings with informative presentations given by members and guest speakers. You can actually learn much from these clubs and is an added plus all the great making new friends there as well. Go to this site to find a club in your area. This has only http://www.astroleague.org/societies/list clubs belonging to the National League of Astronomy, so there are many more not listed here. Continue searching with Google you do not see one in your area here. There are different types of telescopes and they all have some excellent features. Refractors and reflectors, in addition to Schmidt Cassegrain, APO refractors, Mac-Cass, and many more. There are also several mounts to choose from and the mounts are just as important if not more important, that the scope is. All the different areas and rides have some features that some people like and dislike. ★ No two eyes are the same and the ideal for one person may be totally wrong for someone else. ★ There is no scope that is "better" than another, except all fields garbage out there that are just a waste of money. Never, ever buy from Walmart, Costco, Target, or any discount store like that. unwanted areas are flooded in the market stores. You buy nothing but bad optics and plastic. You have to buy from a reputable manufacturer or distributor telescopes or telescope store. If they do not specialize in the telescopes, look elsewhere. ★ If you are new to this, then stay away from anything from the site uses ANY. If you do not know what they are buying and that you are buying the most likely to get another headache --- with no warranty either. Some great deals on used equipment are out there, by people who know how to use and care of the fields, but if you do not know what you're doing, you may spend a lot of money on worthless junk. A improper cleaning can destroy a scope. Buyer Beware. I recommend: http://oriontelescopes.com/ Orion is best for value and customer service too. I have three of its scope and I'll just buy them from now. My first area to reach a controlled manual and I am very happy that it was because I was forced to learn Where things stand in the night sky. Go-To scopes type can be frustrating. If you have not lined up exactly perfect, they find the goals. If you are a beginner, will be frustrated unless you spring for a GPS Go-To. A locator object is just that --- will locate objects for you (should be in line first), but a locator Object is not a tracking engine. It will not keep the scope of the destination. The Orion site has some excellent diagrams and explanations of all kinds of areas and supports. ★ Things to consider are the size - the user can pick up and transport the scope to the viewing site easily? Do fits in your car? If not, then will gather dust in a closet. I recommend a carrying case too so it is protected in storage and transport. Can the viewer reaches all the knobs and buttons? I have a long tube large manual refractor and it is very difficult for me to get to the buttons when I said Zenith. I am not a person high. Some people try to suggest that you get Binnoculars instead of a telescope. That's not a bad idea, but the minimum size 10x50 needs and must have a tripod for astronomical viewing. Even the pulse make them shake. My personal preference is a telescope because Binnoculars must be aligned at the factory. If not, see you double or triple vision of everything that make them useless for astronomy. They can easily be beaten out of the lineup as well, so be very care. ★ Take your time in making your decision. ★ Do not try to learn everything at once or you will be overwhelmed and discouraged. Patience is the key to astronomy. ★ You will need a good success also star. Http: / / freeware www.stellarium.org/ This is great that you can download. Tell him where you are and tell you what you see. I wish him well. Enjoy life
