Just be careful about what version of the Nexus 7 that you look at - if your considering that format. The new version (2013) model is preferred as it has the faster processor, later version of Android, longer battery life and much improved display. It's selling at JB Hifi for around $330, the old version is also still on sale for around $280. It's not a bargain as it will require an ANdroid upgrade, and rumours persist of it dropping wifi connections. Remember you want a tablet platform that can hold up the Sky Safari telescope connection for hours without dropouts (which may mean a re-alignment). I have three Android tablets, and only the 2013 Nexus 7 seems to be capable of holding up the telescope connection for hours at a time.
