90MM Bushnell

I am looking at the 90mm Bushnell. Is there an observable improvement in going with the 114 or 127mm?
Is this a good scope for planets and deep sky objects?
Can I connect this scope to my computer to control or store images?
Would you recommend a different brand than the Bushnell?
I am looking to stay in the $300-$400 range.
I appreciate your assistance

Hi

Yes, even going from a 90mm to a 114mm scope will show an improvement. For faint objects such as nebulae, galaxies and star clusters, the bigger the aperture, the better. Larger apertures can also handle higher maginifcations than smaller apertures and still provide good image quality.

Currently, Bushnell does not offer software that will allow you to control the Northstar from a computer. if you want that feature, you will need to look at the Meades.
