Computer Controlled Stationary Telescope?

Is there a stationary telescope that I can buy that can be controlled through my PC wirelessly to autofocus on an object while I view it on my monitor? Also is there such a telescope that can filter out background light from street lights and give a fairly clear view of planets and galaxies at night? What's the price range? I want one that I can set up outside anywhere and adjust it from in doors at my PC. Thank you.

All of this can be had at a price, though I don't think any amateur telescope offers all that right out of the box. The Meade RCX400 series probably comes close (starting at $5600 for a 10"); you'll still have to add a camera, computer(s), and wireless network. You could probably put a system together yourself for a lot less, if you're clever and good with technology.

Modern astrophotography techniques can yield very good results even in light-polluted areas. This isn't a live-view process; you'll need to accumulate exposures and do some image processing.

All of this is way more complex than Yahoo Answers can deal with. If you're serious and committed, start exploring amateur astronomy forums; Yahoo tech groups and cloudynights.com are good places to start.
