	I need advice on buying a telescope.  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.
