Advice Needed - Celestron PowerSeeker 127mm Telescope

Hi,

I have browsed through this group on google but would like some definitive
responses.

I am looking for a good first telescope and do not have an enourmous budget
however I don't want to spend what little I have on something less than
satisfactory.
