A Conversation for How to Choose an Astronomical Telescope
I do have one

Well, I do have one, and I discovered that without relevant help you cannot choose the right stuff.
While walking thourgh the streets one evening I saw a man looking at the stars with his telescope. In fact he was looking at a few small moons around one of our planets.
He had the same passion as I do and in 15 minutes I knew what I needed to know; a combination of mechanical and manual moving the telescope as it has to follow the object that keeps moving.
I don't like starhopping; so in 15 minutes time I got my answers and most important, I had seen his telescope and his explanation; made notes and bought one.
I can recommend that, that you meet first someone who 'has one, otherwise it becomes to abstract and probably far to expensive.
A few hundred euro's must be more than enough.
It's a thrill to see the mountains at the moon - LIVE - with ones own eyes !!
Thats the magic!
