Hi Amneesh,

to IIS.
A 6 or 8 inch dobsonian telescope is a good place to start and you can get the 6 inch for around $300, but I would recommend saving a little longer and going for the 8 inch, at around $500.

Here's a couple of places you can start looking, and there is a Bintel (binocular and telescope shop) in Melbourne, in Camberwell.

Whatever you do, don't buy a telescope from a department store or any shop that doesn't specialize in telescopes.

Keep asking questions, there are lots of friendly astro geeks here to answer them.

Happy hunting.
