DONT buy that scope.
1. start with binoculars and a planisphere.
2. go join a society and attend the open nights, usually 3rd quarter or new moon, often there are more scopes than people to look through them.
After all, why buy something you'll only use occasionally when someone else will let you use theirs ? Especially when its likely you'll get to use a really big one.
3. pick up something secondhand either here or from one of the astronomical societies - several advertise secondhand stuff for sale from members.
