TELESCOPES

Let's talk about them.

Currently looking to get myself a decent telescope for checking out planets and possibly other parts of the galaxy.

Any tips?
Not looking to spend more than $350

So.../sci/ I'm 22...didn't pay attention in highschool.
My father passed in December and after taking care of him for 14 months, I've finally found what I enjoy in life and want to do.
I fucking love science. I love every branch, I love the curiosity.
Downside?
I'm 22, no degree, no classes, just what I teach myself currently through discussions and lectures online.

How does someone my age go about building the ground work to get a career with NASA?
Yes, it's a long shot.
Yes, I don't have the greatest math skills.
I'm ambitious as fuck, I don't quit.

How do I integrate the characteristics I have and the passion I've found for science into a job, at such a late stage.
I constantly see 12 year old kids and shit just breezing through math, engineering.

It all seems so intimidating and I feel like nobody would take the time to work with me.

Classes seem to ahead of what I know (they require highschool cal classes, etc)


tl;dr
>22 year old anon finally realized he loves science, has no previous education in math or science but what I've taught myself.
How do I make this a possibility?
Looking into computer science areas mostly.
