Telescope present, what to buy?
Hello everyone,
I have been picked to buy a relative a telescope as a gift for their 40th birthday. I know absolutely nothing about telescopes and I hope that someone can steer me in the right direction.
The relative has an interest in astronomy, hence the decision to give a telescope as a gift. The budget is around $600 or so.
Knowing nothing, I'm intrigued by those telescopes that can be controlled by your smartphone - are they any good? Something like that might well appeal to my relative.
Any assistance that can be provided would be appreciated.
Thanks.
