Computerized telescopes - Sep 17, 2007
"What the heck is a manual GOTO telescope? Is there such a thing?" The answer is, yes, though the use of the word GOTO is something of a misnomer in that the GOTO is a button on the hand control of motorized telescopes such as the Meade ETX-90. Manual GOTO telescopes should really just be called manual "computerized" telescopes since they do not have a motorized mount, or hand control or a GOTO button. On a model such as the Meade NGC-60, the computer tells you what direction to move the telescope, but you move the telescope, yourself. No motors or hand control, here, but you do get the computer.
