Buying a new telescope?

I am new to astronomy and before buying a telescope let me know if I've been researching are good. I've been saving money and I just turned 14 and want to spend my money on a birthday telescope.I would at least see the rings of Saturn. I've been watching a few; ~ category_id http://www.telescope.com/control/product/ new_orion_products = / = ~ pcategory celestronstore / ~ product_id = 09,535 = http://www.shopatron.com/product/part_number 0805-04-20/1323.0.28926.36859.0.0.0 thanks! Orion SkyQuest XT6 is computed Intelliscope good too?

As for your choices, you did very well for research. Both areas are good for areas first. Get a membership at a club and you can go to their star parties and see what they can do. There are different types of telescopes and they all have some excellent features. Refractors and reflectors, in addition to Schmidt Cassegrain, APO refractor, Mac-Cass, and many more. Also There are several productions to choose from and over the mountains are so important, if not more important, that the scope is. All the different areas and rides has characteristics that some people like and dislike. No two eyes are the same and the ideal for one person may be completely wrong of another person. There is no scope that is "better" another — with the exception of scrap areas out there that are just a waste of money. Never, never buy at Walmart, Costco, Target, or any discount store like that. unwanted areas are flooded in the market for shopping. You're buying nothing but bad optics and plastic. If you are new to this, then stay away from anything used from anywhere. If you do not know what they are buying and that you are buying the most likely to receive some — another headache without warranty either. Buyer beware you know. Some great deals on computers used by people who know how to use and care of the fields, are out there, but if you do not know what you're doing, you may be spending a lot of money in scrap. ______________________________________… I recommend: http://oriontelescopes.com/ Orion is best for the value and the customer service too. I have 2 of their scopes and I'll just buy them from now. My first area reach a controlled manual and I am very happy that it was because I was forced to learn where things in the night skies. Go-To scopes type can be frustrating. If not have lined up exactly perfect, they find the targets. If you are a beginner, you will be frustrated unless you spring for a GPS Go-To. A locator object is just that — Will locate objects for you (should be in line first), but a locator object is not a tracking engine. It will not keep the scope on target. The Orion site has some excellent diagrams and explanations of all kinds of areas and media. Things to consider are the size – the user can lift and carry scope display on the page easily? Does it fit in your car? If not, then will gather dust in a closet. I recommend a carrying case too much about what is protected in storage and transport. Can the viewer reach all the knobs and buttons? I have a long tube large manual refractor and it is very difficult for me to get to the buttons when I said Zenith. I'm not a tall person. Take your time in making your decision. + + + I would suggest that part in a local astronomy club or astronomical society before you spend your money on a scope. There are many different types of scopes and what is perfect for person is not perfect for another. Each has its own set of eyeballs and no two are alike. If you join a club, you can attend some of their star parties and try outcomes to see what works best for you, before buying a scope. Members also can help you when you get your scope and show you how to get the most out of your new scope as well as to help teach where are the treasures in heaven are. Most clubs have given broad scope and libraries that can also get more information. Most clubs will have monthly meetings Accession informative presentations given by members and guest speakers. You can really learn a lot from these clubs and a plus is the great new freinds you make there too. Some people suggest that you buy binnoculars. Not a bad idea, but do not buy anything less than 10×50 and must also have a tripod or not be happy with point astronomical view, as it will be too shakey from your movements. Personally, I prefer a scope to Binos binoculars because if not aligned correctly at the factory, then get ghosting and distortions that can not be fixed. Most binoculars are cheaper is not properly aligned. That's not so important for terrestrial viewing, but is a murderer for astronomical viewing. Binos can also be beaten out of alignment and become useless for astronomy. When shopping for Orion and you wont be disappointed. Do not try to learn everything at once or you will be overwhelmed and discouraged. Patience is the key to astronomy. Need a good star program successes as well. http://www.stellarium.org/ This is a great freeware to download. Tell him where you are and tell you what you see. Ask a place where something is and I'll show you. I wish you all the best! Enjoy!
