I need anyone to answer this because i am asking my parnets for a new telescope for Xmas this year. Anyway what is the best telescope for researching space? With this, i would like a capture of Spacephotography on it and also can input the computer.
oh gee matt... theres no simple answer to this. mike (iceman) does great images with a 10" dob on an EQ platform. you could get the same and put it on a eq6 i guess and do DSOs... you will need tracking and goto will help you find things better... and a camera and laptop... planetary pics and DSOs oft require diferent cameras too...
but if you are just doing DSOs you might only need a ed80 on a eq5.
good luck. i am sure someone well help ya more
As suggested Matt, you are best to start with a good pair of bino's until you get more experienced, astro imaging can get very involved indeed.
Also get some books on the subject and have a good read up on the subject before you dive into it.
