 What is the Computerised Telescopes

One of the more recent developments for telescopes has been the rise to prominence of Computerized mounts. Computerized mounts are utilising GPS technology to locate the exact location of the telescope on the earth. From there it can actually recommend to users what there is to see in the night sky. Simple pushes of the button then automatically move the telescope to view those objects!

These computerized mounts have become extremely popular for beginners and even seasoned astronomers. For beginners the ease of finding something interesting to see is very attractive. On the same token, the computerized functionality that allows a telescope to track a night sky object as it moves is very attractive to seasoned astronomers who like doing long exposure astro-photography.

Computerized mounts used to be the domain of high end telescopes, but as technology improves and manufacturing costs reduce the prices for computerized telescopes has continued to drop year on year. Manufacturers such as Celestron, Mead and iOptron have a wide variety of computerized telescopes that fit within different budgets!
