Thanks folks, I guess you've convinced me not to buy a cheap telescope. I actually did read the Beginners Guide before posting this topic. The idea of spending a night with an enthusiast club is appealing, especially as there is one quite close to me (Green Point Observatory), but I'm a chef and as such at work most nights so it makes it hard. This is why I thought a cheap scope might be my best way to experience astronomy before taking the big plunge on a $1000.00 plus unit. However I can see you're point, a poor quality piece of equipment may put me off the idea altogether. Guess I'll keep working on my options and see what transpires. Cheers.
