Hi Clarry,
DON’T BUY IT...Maybe just my opinion, but I would say stay away from that scope. I am sure you can do much better than that! It’s just TOOOO Cheap. It’s one of the ones experienced astronomers will tell you not to touch.

Please read the following sticky...it’s is the BEST read I have seen on the internet anywere with regards to buying a beginner Telescope. Do yourself a favour and read this...you won’t be sorry!

General principles for choosing your first telescope:

I am not sure what Binoculars you have used, but I got to tell you, that a good pair of 15X70 will probably beat that cheap scope from aldi hands down, in regards to getting started with the night sky. In fact I was so impressed with the pair I got that I bought a larger pair and now have a tripod on order for my new Binoculars. This was after I was using a 12” Dobsonian reflector...Bino’s definitely have their place along side a telescope & make an excellent choice for beginners.

As for scope...my favourite beginners one will always be a DobsonianJ You won't be sorry go down that path!

Just read the link above and you will have a much better idea as it will cover everything you need to think about as a beginner. Hope it helps.
