First off I am really happy to have found this group. I live in Brooklyn NY.
I am 22 years old and use a wheelchair. as a kid with my uncle using a really cheep kids telescope I have seen Jupiter, Saturn & mars, but only as white dots, Saturn a white dot with a line through it. even though the images were crude it was the most incredible thing I have ever seen. I want to get a better telescope now and I want to get one with a computer connection to make it easier for me. can anyone please give me some recommendations for telescopes. I want to see mars, Jupiter and Saturn, and if possible Venus, mercury, uranses and Neptune. (PLUTO TO but I don't think that is possible) |

Hi,
You best option is probably lies in buying a Meade ETX-90 or, if you can afford the higher cost, a Meade ETX-125. The optical quality is pretty good and they will show plenty of planetary details (the larger the scope the better) and they all have automated pointing and tracking which sould be of help if you're in a wheelchair. They are also compact and easy to set-up. Reg's Andrea T. |
