Default Mars with 3 different scopes - comparison

StarDust:
Best views of Mars found here!

Davoud:
Perhaps. But this forum is about astronomy and those photos have more
to do with robotics than with astronomy. Try comp.robotics.misc.


Newer toy telescopes hook up with the Iphone [sic], by wifi, BT, than [sic] the phone
pointed [sic] at the sky object and the telescope points there.
How retarded it is?


You mean the mount, not the telescope. My Astro-Physics mount, which
carries two research-grade refractors, a research-grade CCD camera and
a guide telescope with a combined weight of about 41 kg, is
controllable from my iOS devices. Some "toy!" A precision,
research-grade telescope mount controlled by a device that fits in a
shirt pocket. How "retarded" is that? Report back after you have done
it yourself. Until then you know nothing.

I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that
