Hi guys, I'm so happy to have found this site. I have been looking at telescope's online. I would like to purchase one this year for Christmas for myself, my husband and our children to look at the planets, moon etc. We are all beginners and I was looking at 130mm AstroMaster EQ with motor drive, what do you guys think.
I've always wanted a telescope, just have no idea, I've always loved the solar system as a kid and as do our kids now especially our son, I would like for him to explore a bit more and encourage his interests. I'm looking for any advice as I don't want to buy something that will disappoint us and we see nothing at all

. Thank you so much everyone for your valuable time and hope to hear from you all soon.
