Hi there,

Tomorrow is my son's birthday (10). I would like to buy an entry level
telescope for him. According to the salesman I spoke to, Tasco's
Galaxsee 46-114500 is the best value-for-money choice for me. He
explained to me which planets I will see and with what level of
detail. He also explained the importance of the focal length, lense
diameter and other nice stuff. But all this is too much theory for me
- I would like to see with my own eyes what I should expect to see.
Can anyone point me to a resource where I could see sample photos of
planets/nebulae shot at 1000 focal length and 114 diameter?

Many thanks.
BCN
