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?
