Hello,

I'm looking to buy my lad a telescope for his 17th birthday.
Budget at £200 max.

He's a complete newbie, so I need something that's...
Quick and easy to set up.
Doesn't require collimation or complex alignment.
Mainly used for Planetary/Lunar observing.
But with a bit of deep sky nebula possible.
Enough X power to excite and not disappoint.

Before I start looking and get carried away, does any one have any ideas or
recommendations?

Regards.

Paul.
