Hi, I live in the UK and am looking to purchase a good quality, good
value, computerized telescope. I have intermediate experience but
consider myself an amateur at present. I have used £800 binoculars with
image-stabiliser, but would prefer a telescope.

Looking for 5" or above so I get decent results, and it doesn't have to
hook into a computer, it could just be the keypad type on the side where I
enter the data.

My budget is around £200-£400. Is there a telescope that fits the bill
that is generally regarded as the best budget computerized telescope?

Thanks!


Hi

For your budget, I don't think that there is anything around that is both
big and driven. As for computerised, you should take a look at the Meade
ETX-105 (with Autostar), or the Celestron 5 (I forget the name of the scope,
think it's a Nexstar) they're comparible, in quality and capability.

Hope this helps a little.
