Barb,

As you have probably guesses by now, the bets advice is to Test & Shop =
the market. As mentioned in previous posted, you would certainly be =
welcomed at most any clubs star parties, and members will gladly let to =
look through tier scopes and explain how they work, why they have what =
they have. etc. Trust me, we a group of people who have never met a =
conversation about astronomy we didn't like. :)

SAC has a loaner telescope available to members. It is a 6" Dobsonian. =
I'm not sure if you are a member or not, but You're more than welcome to =
join us if not and it would be nice to finally loan our loaner :). Our =
next meeting is next Friday Nov. 18th, You may want to attend to get =
more information about our club and what we have to offer.

Barb,

You may not want to do that and just may regret it if it is a Meade =
small
scope (refractor or reflector). If you are shopping for a small scope, =
look at
the review of small scopes in the December 2005 Sky & Telescope =
magazine. The
Meade small scopes are all at the bottom. They are presently exploiting =
that
market segment. Get an Orion catalog: http://www.telescope.com. They =
were
rated higher in the article.

> I'm new to the world of "star gazing," and I'm considering buying a
telescope.  I see an Ebay item, number 756031424, that is a Meade =
telescope
with an "autostar" attachment.  Will that be easy enough for a rank =
novice to
use to find a particular star?
