Nigel asked: I’ve been using binoculars for a year now and I am planning to get a computerized Catadioptric telescope.
Any suggestions? or should I get a reflecting telescope?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a catadioptric and a reflector telescope?
My main goal is to get any computerized telescopes which would help me learn more about astronomy
Thank you in advance!
So would be a Orions XT8 good enough for me?

I was wondering what would be a really good telescope to get him that isn’t too expensive.

DarkMatt14 asked: I’ve looked at a lot of telescopes, and lowered my options down to two, the Orion SkyQuest XT6 Classic Dobsonian Telescope, and the Orion StarBlast 6 Astro Reflector Telescope. They have the same price only the starblast is a “best seller”. I’m only a beginner in astronomy and this is my first telescope well… second but i returned the first because it was a horrible telescope…

Stevie asked: I’ve never had a telescope so know nothing about astronomy. I realize it depends on how close I want to view it, but I don’t know how to explain the detail I’d like to see.

Milton B asked: New to astronomy. How do I make the telescope go up and down? It has controls for making SLIGHT corrections, but I can’t move it to view high overhead or down low towards the horizon.
Suggestions?

To reasonably answer this question you would need math and astronomy.
