  • @rockguitar312 i will tell you the cheapest most portable and best quality of it's kind! It's the Skywatcher Skyliner 6 inch it's quite big and great quality and it's around 300 dollars. That is pretty cheap compared to the thousand dollars robotic telescopes

  • @rockguitar312 you can get a cheap one for$ 20 maybe the moon

  • @rockmasterdan1993 Computer set is much expensive than telescope... he didn't realize it. -_-

  • @vibol03 I've found one that only costs $39.99.. i think it can also see the saturn planet

  • @rockguitar312 save up, im 13 and my birthdays soon and with all my birthday money i will buy a telescope

  • @rockguitar312 get one off ebay around 25$ and you can see saturn with it
