The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

G'day mate, that is a quite good price, but, you would need a couple more eye pieces, at least.

For normal viewing, it is ok, especially with the motor drive. However, for astrophotography, you would have to hold a camera/video to the lens....

 

From an astro forum:

If you need to take time exposures, (1 minute to 3 hours, etc.) you would need a CCD set-up

 

Any help, from a UK forum:

Cheers, Bobj.

A nice Youtube clip on how to use an astrolabe. A rather cool 13th century gadget.
