Hello,

I just joined this list recently in hopes to gain some knowledge about
Meade telescopes and telescope use in general, so I can decide which scope
would be best for my needs. I am considering purchasing the Starfinder
Equatorial 10" but I have some questions I hope that someone on this list
can answer. First of all, what is the best average visual magnitude that I
can expect to see with this particular scope under average seeing
conditions? Would it be possible to see Pluto or some of the larger moons
of the outer planets like Uranus and Neptune or would I need a scope with a
larger appiture to accomplish this? I'm also interested in looking at
asteroids and comets as well as deep sky targets. Any comments?
suggestions? Thank you for your help/answers in advance.
