Celestron Cosmos 90GT Wi-Fi Telescope $299, shows down from $799, they have another like model on sale for $599.
I missed the last slightly different sale of these $4 cheaper - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/458256 keen to hear peoples opinion,
also, Parrot Mambo fly $49 - https://shop.australiangeographic.com.au/parrot-mambo-fly.ht…
it's a legitimate question.
Drove to the store just for you JV. The web add shows down from $799, albeit they have another like model on sale at $599 for fathers day.
Wi-Fi Telescope $299
Range of Wi-Fi outdoors is around 100m… I doubt you'd need a telescope.
Funniest thing I've ever heard. :-/
maybe only worth the motor, for beginner is ok. but i prefer to buy reflector type with better aperture

Refractors are much better.
It entirely depends on what you're going to use it for and how much light pollution is around.
Saying one type is better is simply wrong, because they both have different uses.

Looking at the dark side of the moon.
Parrot will not have anymore app update for Mambo. I have Tello, it's fun to fly
Main value here would be the tracking mount. Add a DSLR with 100mm lens should be able track for up to 2 minutes without much trailing. Stack multiple shots for amazing vistas of the night sky.
any decent way to mount it? I have an Astrotrac, but it's a pain in the backside to polar align.
This is an alt-az. No need to polar align. Can do a two star alignment in 5 minutes and will track well enough for DSLR for a couple of minutes. Not good enough for through the telescope tracked photography.
Take the telescope off and make a small wood/perspex mount for the camera that will fit into the slot where the telescope is mounted. I have done this with an old CS6 mount - still use it.
awesome, thank you!

It uses a vixen qr mount. You can buy plates for your camera from bintel, ebay and other telescope outlets.
Or buy p30 pro :)
p30 pro only can shoot moon
Ah that's why all the craters are on the moon, bullet holes.
The scope is quite good. The mount not so. You can't rotate it manually, so you must use an app, which can be a headache, esp if you're in a dense wifi environment. Alternatively, you could purchase a separate hand controller, making it much easier to position.
The mount isn't able to support more than the telescope - so a camera or phone adapter could cause it to shift. The legs are fairly lightweight, which can make it a bit unstable. I kept it as the telescope itself is decent and I have another easier to use mount.
Links not working
It's gonsky
How much is it normally?
