Telescopes
Bondred:
Hi guys, need some help please.
I am looking at buying a Telescope, I know nothing at all about them and have around £200 to spend on one.
Can anyone recommend some decent ones for that price?
Mainly to be used for planet and star observations.

That was the peeping tom's defence as well. ;)
Will you be observing the constellations away from a metropolitan area ? (ie away from smog, pollution etc)

Gobias Industries is the one to ask I believe as he is into his astronomy. I know for a fact that he likes looking at Uranus...

If you know nothing about them, have you considered getting a far cheaper one, and trying it out, as it were?
If you are looking at stars, have a look at this: http://www.stellarium.org/
It is one of the best open source projects there is.
