What kind of telescope do you own?

[ZandraJoi]

If you don't own one, what type would you want? I've had my Celestron NexStar 8SE Telescope for over a year now. I couldn't use it too much at first as the Go-To was screwy. We had to send it in to be looked at. They fixed it & I'm always looking for a chance to use it! We tried the Celestron Astromaster 114EQ but equatorial mounts are fickle for me. I have a Spotting Scope that I used but I use that just for birdwatching now. I finally was able to buy more eyepieces & filters to better look at the moon & stars. I may get one for sun viewing, a solar filter. They say watching the solar flares & sun spots can be quite fascinating!

I would love to have a really advanced telescope would be amazing and something I would hands down be so happy about if I did. Would be so cool to be able to search the internet for different planets and even upload it to a site.

Hi I own Celestron 130EQ Astromaster Reflector Telescope, I have a fascination for space and planets and to look at them in real time through our very eye is a priceless feeling. The advantage of this particular model is it is motorized and has a built in software which enables us to pinpoint planets and to track any extra terrestrial objects. I was lucky to see the Jupiter moons with this telescope and I use it for bird watching also..

Its a multi Utility device very delicate, have to handle and to maintain with special care.
