I'm considering a GALILEO G-102MD reflector telescope
The Focal Length IS 1100MM
Is that better than say 1400 mm or worse?
I'm pretty clueless about them so any help would be awesome.  |
That is not a bad price, nor a bad system, to begin with. I am not sure about the trilogy software though. The meade scope I use has Autostar.
You may want to check with the local amateur astronomy clubs in your area before buying a system. They often have viewing nights scheduled throughout each month where you can actually use the different scopes. You can get info about those clubs from any photo/scope shop in town.
