Don't waste your money on that scope, it is junk. It is too small to be useful on the planets, and too small for galaxies and deep sky objects.
A pair of decent binoculars is certainly a good idea, 7x50 or perhaps 11x70.
The first thing you should do is find an Astro society near you, and go to their observing nights so that you can get sone idea of what you can actually see with various kinds of scope.
Then if you really want a scope, a better way to start is either:
- look for a secondhand dobsonian reflector, 20cm aperture is the minimum aperture for a beginner. You can try the equipment for sale forum here, or talk to the people in the Astro societies near you.
- make a telescope yourself, as I did. It takes time, some research, patience and some hand tools.
