Telescopes

[p1stonhead]

Can anyone recommend one for home use?

I've just moved to a house in a location with no light pollution and frankly, the sky is incredible. I want a closer look

Complete newbie no idea of what different types do! Some move to find object by themselves by pressing a button I believe? This may be helpful!

Say up to £750?

Thanks all

Have a quite scan here: http://www.telescopehouse.com/acatalog/Telescopes-...

Go-to mounts make finding specific objects easy but you will get a smaller scope, a bigger scope with a more basic mount will enable you to see more potentially.

Thanks

I recently wrote a fairly big post about buying your first telescope in reply to a similar thread a month or two ago - a PH search should find it.

HTH

Yep - there have been a few over the last year or so that I have contributed to as well:

Loads of information, opinions and advice in them.

Thank you - I didn't have time to search.
