anyone here have an interest in this? i was thinking of buying a telescope and having a look into the universe. What type of zoom lens etc would be adequate to have a look at some of the other planets?

One of my mates reckons he's never spotted a satellite in the sky, I seriously don't know how this is possible. Sometimes after dusk it's easy to see 2 or 3 within the space of a few minutes.
To the satellite stuff: They are easy to spot. The ISS particularly is, as it can be the brightest "star" in the sky depending on when it goes over. Check out heavens-above.com for a list of times when the ISS goes over and other satellites.
The only really bright satellite (brighter than say a dullish star) that I've ever seen was last summer was when I noticed an object that I initially thought was Jupiter, until I realised that it was moving. Checked and the ISS wasn't supposed to be there at the time, guess it was another one. Next time I'll check out the website that you posted.
Hi guys, would appreciate some assistance in choosing a telescope but am a noob with this stuff.
Looking at these three:

Always want to get into it & just wondered which one someone with a bit of knowledge would choose of the three. The first one looks good to me but not really sure.
Thanks for any help.
First of all, what's your budget?
The reason I looked at these is I can use altitude points to get them for nothing. If I was to buy one though it would be about $300-400.
As I said I'm a noob & just want to see if it pricks my interest to get into it a little more.
