Do you want to do the Moon, stars, the planets, or nebula? I was wondering whether you're a candidate for a refractor, a reflector, or a Maksutov-Cassegrain, whether you need automatic tracking, computer control, and a (chilled?) CCD camera. Will this need to be portable? Which kind of car do you have? Can you access unpolluted (aerosols and city lights) observation spaces easily? > ;-) I don't know what my budget is, yet.

Some of them are even cheap. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
