Are all telescopes / let you take pictures and record video?
Is there any particular features I have to look in a telescope if I am interested in taking video footage and take some shooting across the sky? I was told the university astronomy club is the telescope following available to its members, but I have not seen yet: 12-inch Meade LX200-ACF Advanced Coma-Free Telescope with UHTC
Most telescopes do not. Astro is by far the most difficult and expensive to amateur astronomy. Learn how to find your way around the sky with your eyes befor adding the complication huge images. Here are a few websites with good information on beginner's telescopes: http://www.gaherty.ca/tme/TME0702_Buying_a_Telescope.pdf http:// www.scopereviews.com / http://observers.org/beginner/jrfbeginner.html begin.html For more advanced information, read Phil Harrington's Star Ware, 4th edition (Wiley). You get the most value for your money with a Newtonian reflector on a Dobsonian mount, such as: ~ = ~ category_id http://www.telescope.com/control/category/ = Dobsonians pcategory / telescopes / ~ VIEW_INDEX = 0 / ~ VIEW_SIZE = 1000000 http://www.skywatchertelescope.net/swtinc/product. php? class1 = 1 & class2 = 106 Buy from a store that specializes in telescopes and astronomy, either locally or online, do not buy in department stores, discount stores or eBay as a whole what they sell is junk. Find your local astronomy club and try out different telescopes at one of their star parties: http://www.skyandtelescope.com/community/organizations
