Also I spotted the Philip's guide to stargazing which shows monthly. Is this a good buy to start with? Thanks again guys for all the advice.

My thinking was that I'll check what's on the FLO site, then have a look around secondhand for the same ones. I have found a few the same so far but am checking condition, use etc. With ebay I have a certain amount of guarantee against anything that's damaged or doesn't work. That's why I'll only buy secondhand from there. Does this sound like a sensible plan ? ☺️

Thanks. I'm looking on there now 🤘

Ok so I found a few on ebay and would like some feedback but I can't upload an image for some reason !

Again thanks guys. Some really useful info 🤘😊 I'm always on Ebay for one thing or another (I have a lot of animals/reps etc. lol) so I ventured a look and theres a lot of used telescopes on there too, going for a very decent price it seems. I'm thinking that my budget would be better suited to a used one first, before I shell out a fortune on one. What details should I look for in terms of specs ? Are there any brands/types i should avoid ? Is a Reflector or a Refractor better ? Sorry for all the newbie questions ☺️ T.

Thanks guys. I'm in the UK So my budget would be about £150. I'm fascinated with the universe and have dabbled in photography and have a half decent DSLR, although it's old now. So, I'm up most nights anyway, I don't get out, so thought to myself, I'll get back into it, as I love the night sky ☺️ T.

Hi guys, annoying newbie here, just starting out. Had a cheap, rubbish telescope years ago (don't remember name etc) but now looking to gaze into the night sky again properly. Could I have some suggestions on a telescope please ? Should I get a reflector or a refractor ? What's a decent one to take pictures with ? I've looked at so many reviews which are just confusing and contradictory. Thank you 😊
