another question or two 
do we need a zoom to look at land objects. do you use zoom to look at the night sky?
re the thing that we need to buy so objects can be seen up the right way, (can't remember what it's called) what do we ask for and are there different types and how much will it cost, will we be able to install it?
cheers

With telescopes you change magnification by changing the eyepiece. All telescopes have eyepieces that you can change (only cheap toy ones don't). An eyepiece with a 10mm focal length will give twice as much magnification as one with 20mm. You can get zoom eyepieces as well if you like.
A 45 degree correct image diagonal will set you back about $50. This is what they look like:
