Help choosing first telescope

Hi all,

I would really appreciate any advise. I am recently taking up astronomy, so i am a beginner, a complete novice :iamwithstupid:

I havent yet got a telescope and I am hoping to buy one very soon.

I would like advice on a decent telescope to buy and maybe why you suggest that particular one and any accessories you reccommend.

I have a budget of upto £300 (not much i know) but would really like to see as much as possible.

Any advice will be appreciated. Many thanks :icon_salut:

You will receive much more advice if you post this question in one of the equipment help boards and not in your blog...

Also some more information on the type of object that you would like see (Planets/Moon or Galaxies/Nebula).. as this will make a difference...

Cheers

I agree with Ant, posting on the "equipment help" board will bring about much more advice. As a newcomer to the field of astronomy, I believe that purchasing a number of starters books may be of great help as well. Like many others here on the forum, I suggest "Turn Left at Prion". It will help you find your way in the night sky and answer some of your more pressing telescope concerns.
