- Hi,
-
- Well I am sort of new to the world of astronomy and just wanted
- to share some info with both new and old people, and maybe this
- is something that could be added to the faq (how i'm not sure).
-
- As i said i recently got into this sort of thing and was very
- confused about what all these different types of telescopes
- were! So I called up Astronomics (saw their add in Astronomy
- magazine, it said call for info) and they sent me a packet of
- info.
-
- The packet is great, it includes their price list (of
- course!) , and several sets of info sheets about the different
- types of telescopes by Meade, Celestron, and Questar. Also,
- recommendations on what telescopes should be used for what.
- One large part of the packet was devoted to the needs for
- astrophotography, which is what originally got me started
- on this whole search.
-
- I dunno, that they'd appreciate getting loads and loads of
- requests for this, so if anyone can suggest a way to distribute
- it over the net? I have my set, and i could type it out (not
- right now, but over winter break?) and it could be either
- added to the faq or maybe a ftp'able copy somewhere?
-
- Suggestions are welcome.
