Hi all,

Thanks a lot for your answers, I appreciate the time you take for me.

That was exactly the answers I was looking for.

This scope is a good start to see if I will like this hobby since I have
nothing to lose. And if I like it and begin to be adicted (;-) I won't have
any problem to spend many hundreds $ to buy a great scope later since I know
I will appreciate it and it will worth it.

But for now I prefer to start at the beginning before spending many $ and
this scope will be perfect.

And the astronomy club is a good idea, I will look for one in my region.

Thanks again folks and like you said, "Clear sky" to you too! ;-)
