Cheers for the reply! I guess for now viewing planets and closer nebulae are what I’m interested in currently. Thanks for the suggestions I’ll have a look into them now. Also stupidly never really thought of binoculars as a thing to look at the sky with so thanks for that suggestion too 😂. Another question I have leading on from that , if you don’t mind me asking , for the skywatcher flex tube 130 you suggested, do you know whether I’d be able to attach it to a tripod instead of having to use a table or surface to use it? Thanks

Hi mate, Looking to get a phone adaptor for a telescope I hope to get soon. Just wondering what phone adaptor you have as I’ve got an iPhone 12 too so would rather be safer then sorry knowing I’m getting one that works well and will fit with my phone. Cheers.

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all well! I’m a newbie in the world of astronomy and exploring space with more then just my eyes. I’ve been looking for months now for a good, first telescope to start with. I’ve stumbled across many telescopes that seem good at first but once I search around a bit there’s deeper complaints. I figured I’d come on a forum like this and ask, I guess, “pros” what their opinions are. I most recently looked at the Skywatcher Mercury 707; does anybody know if this is good? Or any suggestions as to where I can start? My budget would be around £150.
