My GF has taken a sudden interest in gazing at the stars, she had been
using the
internet to read up about it and I bought her a little book for Xmas
detailing the night sky and what you can expect to see.

She is now however wanting to purchase something to get a better look
at the stars but is not sure what to buy.

The book recommends that if you cannot afford a decent telescope
(which I think as she is only just starting out would not be too wise)
then to go for a pair of binoculars rather than a cheap telescope as
they will give better results.

Is there any advice on what to be looking out for, which make to buy,
what spec? Or might it be better going for a telescope and the lower
end of the scale?

Any and all advice appreciated as usual!

I'm off to work now so will check back either after midnight or
tomorrow AM!
