I am not talking about you Nick & Rebecca so don't take this personally as you are doing the right thing by investigating Scopes first, but don't ya love the way the general public go crazy and buy any telescope by the thousands when the Media reports that there is a Comet coming. Every $50 supermarket scope instantly goes up to $99 and when the event is over the market and ebay is flooded with junk scopes.
Take your time, check out the invites you have been given and enjoy the experience through a good scope, not a 'throw-away' junky scope. There is some real garbage out there.
EDIT: There is some real garbage out there. I mean garbage scopes, not garbage out there in Space LOL!
