newbie

Hi all,

I'm thinking of buying a telescope so I can spend many hours in toal
darkness observing many wonderous things. I've read quie a lot about
astronomy. I've found a telescope ha I think will be a good starter one
within my budget and was wondering if you could give me your thoughts
on whether its a good purchase. It can be found he

and I've found it online for £140 which I think is a very good price.
Also what should I expect to see with this telescope (with lots of
practice that is, not as a beginner) would I be able to get good views
of planets, nebula and other DSO's?

Any other advice you have would be great.

Kind regards,

Richard
