Eric..I'm just gonna send you the Meade site..with the scope you're interested in. My suggestion to you would be this..buy the most scope you can, in other words if you can afford to go up a bit in price you will get more chances of seeing Nebula, etc. As I said Tee has this one for her son I believe..so you could always write her and ask her opinion on it. <A HREF="http://meade.com/catalog/etx/etx70at.html";>Meade Instruments Corporation - Meade ETX-70AT Astro Telescope</A> Jackie --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- Computer Talk Shop http://www.computertalkshop.com Un-subscribe/Vacation, http://szaroconsulting.com/cts/list_options.htm List HowTo: http://szaroconsulting.com/cts/faq To join Computer Talk Shop's off topic list, please goto: http://szaroconsulting.com/cts/other_cts_lists.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------
