Hello,
Well I have been learning the constellations, reading beginner text books, and using my binoculars.
I'm starting to research telescopes and have been completely overwhelmed by choice. I have a few questions if you could help:
1. Is there real world comparison's I can make online? I would like to be able to see for example what Saturn, the Jewel Box and M7 look like through various scopes given the same seeing conditions. I think Stellarium mentions something about this, but it requires the mobile upgrade.
2. How hard are EQ mounts? I can see that they take more set up time, but the hardest part seems to be finding the celestial South Pole. I am confident I can get close using Crux and the pointers, but how exact do I have to be?
Thanks for any advice you can provide me.
Chris
