Jeron Asked:

What is the best Meade or Telescope Celestron for a beginner? I want one with the Autostar computer and a catadioptric design. Any help? Thanks!!

Reply:

Autostar/Intelliscope/GoTo/Navstar/whate… is good for anyone, not just a beginner (yeah, I'm too lazy to want to do a proper set up all on my own), but catadioptic sounds a bit much for an alleged beginner.
That said, Orion tends to be a bit cheaper than either of the ones you mention (I've always felt that Meade, good though they are, tend to be a bit overpriced). Orion has a nice 8 inch called the Pro 8 EQ GoTo. If your heart is set on telescope Celestron, though, go with it and enjoy. May your skies be ever clear.
