Advice On A Telescope
I am in the market for a telescope, in fact I will probably be picking one up this Friday and I am seriously considering getting the Celestron NX114GT. It is 1000mm, f/9.0 and has a diameter of 114mm (4.5"). It can be computer controlled and I can buy an adapter that would help me connect it to my Canon 10D for fairly cheap. And most importantly, this $700+ camera is currently available for under $300.
I am a big astronomy nut but I know only a little bit more than a novice when it comes to telescopes for amateurs. This is going to be my first telescope. So do any of you have advice, recommendations or suggestions on this telescope, or others? The most important consideration is cost which needs to be as low as possible (i.e. about $300).
