RE: The 2018 Martian Global Dust Storm
Nice telescope! I wonder how much exactly it's cost? I have been fascinated with space and anything related to it since primary school but now, I don't know where to start. Any idea?
This is the same telescope with a similar mount here . In reality this is too heavy for portability (without risking injury) so it had to be mounted permanently. I would start with an 8" Dobsonian telescope, but smaller scopes give very satisfying views as well. I had a view recently with a very cheap 5" table mount dobsonian telescope and it showed the rings of Saturn without any problem (yes the planet looked small).
