 Choosing My First Telescope Hey everyone. I'm in search of my first telescope. i've done some researching and these are the two telescopes i've decided upon for now. Celestron NexStar 8 SE Telescope or Meade LXD75 SC-8AT Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope with AutoStar. It would be very helpful if you guys could list some telescopes that you recommend or if you know anything about the telescopes i listed. i'm looking to spend $1,000-1,500 for my telescope and what i'm interested in doing with my telescope is as follows: viewing the moon, viewing the planets, viewing galaxies and star clusters, astrotography and i would also like to be able to connect my laptop to it. Thanks for the help. Appreciate it.

| Not the Nexstar SE Tyler, For astrophotography, don't choose the Nexstar SE models. Even with a wedge they don't track well enough for long exposures. If possible, buy a telescope with an equatorial mount for the best photography results. |
