Red Light for Night Time Viewing?
Would this work or does it actually have to be a red light emitting bulb?

nope its $239. Just because I cant afford one, does not mean someone else cant.  Its still a cool flash light.... youre into astronomy... I always wanted a decent telescope to see the planets. what is a good starter telescope that one could see jupiter and saturns rings in fairly good detail Maybe in the $1000 range?

Well to be honest you don't need to spend $1000 dollars to see Jupiter or Saturn rings. But to make out something like the GRS on Jupiter's surface, something like mine does the job pretty well! I have the iOptron SmartStar A MC90 and picked it up on line for like 350. it almost a 4 inch mirror and I get amazing detail on the moons of Jupiter and can see some of the closer nebula's in really good detail.
for closer to $1000 you could get some amazing telescopes, http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...Telescope.html would blow mine out of the water!!! lol |

Yep they do all the above mentioned and all those things start popping up somewhere around the 300-500 dollar mark.
better ones often use gps, but any basic telescope is motorized at least with a basic tracking system. attaching to the camera is a bit of another story. you can do it with any of them and some telescope models try and make it easier but all in all still you will need some type of special adapter from the manufacturer of your camera. |

I like the Energizer head lamp. Has one, 1-watt white led, two red led, and two white led. It just comes in so handy. Looking at tank at night, camping/hunting, working on the car when dark, bbq'ing in the dark. You just can't beat having light where your head looks and two hands free at the same time IMO.
