Alright, getting there.
I have been able to narrow my searches.
I am now looking for a refractor, not just sold as a telescope, but also as a terrestrial viewer, I expect the image will be upright then. Or will add an eyepiece to flip the image.
Looking at some webpages, I find a couple of telescopes which look good, but I need your advise please.
What about the:
Skywatcher SW102 AZ3
Meade DS-2080LNT
Celestron NexStar 102 SLT
Is the above what I should be looking for? Again, I am a real beginner, don't know a lot about the different types of telescopes, but have learnt loads in the last week.
I like the so-called Goto or find functions, that sounds like a must.
What I don't want is to buy something now that needs to be upgraded next year, because it's abilities are limited. But the sky is not the limit (pricewise) so it should be the best of both worlds.
Budget max AUD 600,-
I can use some help coming to a decision. Is what I have listed above a good pick, or do you have other recommendations?
One last question, if the magnification is not mentioned in the specs, is there an easy way to calculate that, or what are specs that I need to look at to make sure I will have the best magnification?
thanks,
