Thank you for this exciting information, Ethan!

I love to observe the night sky through the changing months and seasons, and I am able to recognize most planets, stars, and constellations in the Northern hemisphere by naked eye. Since I’ve always dreamed of having a telescope, but having not been able so far to treat me with a decent one, would you mind to suggest a model good for me? It needs to be easy enough to handle and move around (I must go to the country fields), but not so basic like those for children. Also, it should capture well magnified images, as this Italian northern area is light-polluted and I would love to take pictures with it… Is this possible, you think?

Anyway, thank you for all the “news from space" you provide to amateurs like me. At least, I can enjoy the mysterious beauty of the universe’s tales and views, if not its physics and mathematics.
