Hello people, my first glance at this forum has been a real pleasure.
For a while now I've had a beginners interest in astronomy and have been wanting to get a reasonable telescope to fulfill that interest but the prices have always scared me a bit. So I think I have decided to start at the very bottom of the pack with a budget unit and then if my interest hold out I'll consider upgrading in the future.
So with that in mind, I saw this el-cheapo
telescope coming up at ALDI next week and I'm wondering if worth getting or will it be no better than my binoculars? After seeing the equipment you people own, I know it's probably a bit of a laugh, but as I said, it's somewhere to start.
Looking at the stats & features of this unit, can you tell me if I will see anything at all through it or will it just be a waste of time but thankfully very little money?
On the same note, this
telescope from ebay, is it a better buy?
Any advise you can give is greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
