Can you take pictures of a star by taking it through a telescope?
So you put your camera eye directly in front of the the telescope. Will it be a clear picture or super blurred?
I just thought this would be convenience if it worked.

I plan on buying a telescope, after observing the sky for quite some time with binoculars. My budget however is kinda small so I plan on buying a used reflector telescope(skywatcher 8′ dobsonian), but i must first ensure that it is in good condition. What should I check and how to make sure that it is working correctly?

I have been using the heavens above site to see when the Hubble, the Space Shuttle and the International Space Station will be visible from my location. Unfortunatly we have had a couple of days of clouds.
I have 15×70 and 7×35 binoculars and a 5.1″ Meade telescope. How much magnification do I need before these satellites show some shape?

I’ve always wanted a decent telescope. When I was like 10 I had this 30 dollar one that wasn’t much more powerful than a pair of binoculars. Can someone recommend a good beginner’s telescope? I’d be willing to spend like 300 or so dollars.
