There are countless threads from beginners such as yourself, on what they should buy for their first telescope. I know you will be itching to dive in head first and buy a telescope but please don't dismiss a good pair of binoculars to start of with. These will do you a lifetime and are an invaluable tool for observing.
Plenty more will chime in on the pros and cons of which telescope to buy.
Regards,
Stephen
