Hi Noel and welcome to IIS

Just as an idea of what you might get...how much can you afford to spend. I know what it's like being skint on cash (being a student myself), but if you can save a little each fortnight for awhile, you'll be able to get a better scope than what you would otherwise get if you go out and just grab one.

I would stay away from any Dick Smith or department store "bargain" cheaper. They're more problems than they're worth and you'll soon tire of them. Your binos are plenty good enough for now, until you save for a decent scope. If you can put away enough money to save up about $500-$600, then you'll be looking at a good quality scope, like a Bintel or Skywatcher 8" Dob, which are as easy to setup as you can make it Just take it outside and point it at wherever you want to
