Oooh the pressure!
I'll try..
Next on the list is a microscope so I can find your cranium.
a, "Next" = Wishful thinking
b, "on the list" = and the daydreams pile up
c, "a microscope" = told ya am not that dumb
d, "so I" = He admits, its him = not a friend = proves my first translation to be correct!
e, "cranium" = thats what he calls it when his balls cram with spermium.

a telescope to watch constellation is waste of money.
get a 20X80 binocular.
i have a MK127.
works fine for planets in bad light conditions.
it depends on where you live.
the best are the newtonians.
ps. also because stars are so far that you can't tell the difference, with a telescope............................................
Originally posted by gianfrancolevatiThis is an option. I also have a 20X80 with solar filters. Its great for spotting sunspots. I saw one already, mostly not there on this part of the solar cycle, minimum. I looked on Ebay and its mostly junk outside of one 10" Meade with motor drive that was originally 3 grand but the latest bid is 900 bucks, which will probably go up, but still thats a good scope, very short barrel, portable. Great buy if it doesn't go much over a kilobuck.

Originally posted by sonhouseYes, used can be good, although you have to be a bit careful. I am not sure I would recommend ebay unless you know very well what you are doing. I found my telescope at an astronomy forum. The guy who sold it was an active participant in the forum, and he was clearly an astronomy enthusiast and not some dealer who didn't have a clue what he were selling.
Don't forget the used market. You can get some great deals there. Maybe Ebay.
