I bought my daughter a junky starter telescope last year, and we finally tried on a clear night in January. COLD, but great views since the air was so clear. I have since given that hunk away and want to get my daughter (and her brother) a new MUCH better telescope, but I have NO idea what I'm doing. Any ideas or recommendations? It should have some kind of auto-tracking deal where you tell it where you are, and what you want to look at, and it can handle it.
