I have just been given a telescope and having no idea whatsoever if it is a good one I though I would call on the experts and ask. The telescope I have is a Tasco 302012 It has some other numbers on it that have no meaning to me but they are D=144mm F=900mm. It also has two small lenses and a thing called a Barlow lens x2. The lenses have the following H20mm and SR4mm. If someone could let me know wether a) this is an okay telescope and also b) what I might be able to see using it. ie planets, stars etc. And finally (sorry lot of questions) is what is a good software package that will tell me where to point it and what I am looking at. Once again I thanks for any and all help that you guys (and gals) could give me. Bill Carr |
