Advice on this scope please

A logical choice for the casual deep sky or planetary observer seeking a
medium-aperture (150mm or 6") reflecting telescope that is extremely quick
to set-up and easy to use. The Dobsonian mounting is well suited to the
novice since there are no concerns about aligning the mounting, slow motion
controls or potentially confusing co-ordinate setting circles: the telescope
remains pointing where placed without the need for locks or clamps.

But dear group i haven't actually got a telescope yet. I want to get one at
some time to use just for the odd bit of casual observing. Would this scope
be suitable for a newcomer do you think?

many thanks

A 6" dob is a great choice for a lot of people. But, Bushnell is
probably the worst name in the business. £99 is a great price, as
long as shipping is cheap. Telescope House has the Orion Intelliscope
(the best 6" dob) for £299 including shipping.
