I want to see all that is reasonable to see like planets, etc. I really like looking at the sky through binoculars because it seems to give me a better feeling of depth and doesn't tire my eyes as much. I also like the power of telescopes. Is there such a thing as a telescope with two eye pieces? I like to know if there are any modestly priced systems ($300 or less) with which I can accomplish this. Also I would like some info/pointers on books and software that will help me find things in the sky. Please respond by e-mail. I will greatly appreciate all responses. -Marty Nicholson UUCP: decvax!decuac!marty AT&T: (301) 731-4100 x4179 USMAIL: Digital Equipment Corp. 8301 Professional Place Landover, MD 20785
