Welcome Kana.
Before paying out any $$$ you would do well to read a lot of what has been posted and reviewed here. Often I see people join a group with the opening line: " I bought XYZ telescope, what can I expect to see with it?"
Good luck ............ it's a minefield out to swallow your money......

I even find excuses to buy more in order not to feel guilty... like combined postage... Then when the items arrive it is cloudy, it rains and what more...
