Imagine what it's like with a half decent scope/setup! That does NOT wobble
So, youre only bad bad because you're right! which means the celestron wobbly 50 power seeker does no justice to noobies,
This is guys a great forum, great threads, advice and I hope to have a purchase soon.

hi markaus and welcome..
yep.. it's a great hobby to have every time you use the telescope there's something in the sky that makes you go wow!!!!..know about a purchase of a new scope take your time ask questions join an astronomy club and don't tell the misses what you've bought or how much it was they probably end up leaving you
once they find out...
my advise on a scope would be a 8 of 10" dobbie they are light weight portable plenty of light gathering power and not to expensive and most of all great fun....and a good starting point.
hope this advise helps and welcome to astronomy...
