Hey Jacques, Having an area to view is probibly going to be a problem, and no I do not have a car. Backyard: ( Unclear I know ) I can surely work something out.

Astrology and Photography are one of my two favorite things, I want to take lots of pictures, and I dont see how binoculars would help. Also, Digital camera vs. film, whats better?

Thanks for you guys that posted, I'll certainly keep in mind what you said, thanks. This is what I have been looking at for the past couple days. http://www.telescopes.com/products/celestron-nexstar-114-slt-32980.html There are also a few others but I cant nessicerely understand what their differences are. Most come with alot of upgrades, but I cant seem to find the one with about 9 different camera attachments, like one specifally for Nikon cameras.

Hey guys, first timer here in need of a few answers. First off i'm 17, I absolutely love space, the stars, plants, galaxies, nebulae, everything just fasinates me. I'll be moving into the working world soon, and after I buy a laptop a telescope is next on my list. I have never had one but Would be thrilled to own one. My problem which I present to you is what should I look for? What I am looking to get out of it is to be able to see the moon, other planets, stars, nebulae, and anything else possible. Also, me being a novice, it would be handy if it auto-located the stars, planets, etc.. I am also looking to be able to take pictures from the telescope, and I have no clue how to go about doing so. So if you could offer tips or direct me to a specific telescope I would appreciate it. It doesn't have to be over-the-top but I want to be satisfied with what it can offer. I foresee a budget of $300 ~ $2,000 limit. Again, thanks for any help you can offer! -Bruce
