Hello Sally and
to Iceinspace. You have started out doing the best thing you could have.....found an astronomy forum and asked for directions. So many budding enthusiasts end up disheartened because they chose the wrong scope for their needs.
First things first.....don't get that telescope. You will be disappointed. The telescope itself MAY be alright (though it's doubtful) but the mount it is on is an absolute disaster. It is too light and flimsy. It is what is commonly known as a Wobbletronic.
I would suggest as a starter a small 6" or 8" Dobsonian style scope, or possibly a small refractor on a decent mount. So that we can offer more targeted advice, what price range do you have?
