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’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…

I want to buy a telescope. Where can I find it in maharashtra?

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?

Sometimes I get crazy random questions like this in my head=)
To reasonably answer this question you would need math and astronomy.
