Hi there everyone,
I am very much a beginner in astronomy and it probably would have been better to have found this site and asked more questions before purchasing my scope.. but here we are.
My 12yr old son wanted a telescope for his birthday recently but having owned really cheap telescopes as a kid myself I didnt want to inflict those apon him so I bought him an IPad and few weeks later for my birthday I bought this scope which he and I can use together. Now I know that to most of you guys this Saxon refractor is probably considered a cheap telescope too at 500 bucks but I couldnt justify spending more to the wife
Anyways, is this Saxon 1025, AZ3, refractor going to be ok for us as newbies? What can we hope to see with it? Advice on objects to search for?
Thanks guys,
Looking forward to getting out there.
