  1. Hi everyone. I'm really into astronomy and I want to buy my first telescope/binoculars with a 100 euro budget. Even though I'd love to look at the Moon and planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Venus phases) closely, I'm more interested in other, more distant, space objects like stars (clusters), nebulae, Andromeda Galaxy, etc. I've read a lot of guides and stuff and come to the conclusion that binoculars may be a better fit for me cause of their wider field of view and overall experience (looking with 2 eyes), but I'm concerned about the magnificaction. Would 10 or 20x be enough to actually see the Orion Nebula or Andromeda, for example? What would you recommend? telescopes: I found a Celestron 70 AZ Powerseeker (70dm/700fl) selling for 100 euro. Looking at photos taken with it, you can totally admire Jupiter bands and even get a glimpse of Saturn ring(s). Would this still be good for other objects (stars etc) though? binoculars: I found a Bresser Astro (Porro) 20x80 for 115 euro, an Omegon 15x70 for the same amount and an Olympus 10x50 for 60. I think the 20x80/15x70 would be the best for magnification, but I'm concerned about the fact that Bresser and other 20x80 binos of the same price range (Omegon, Celestron) seem to frequently have collimation issues and need to be returned (lots of Amazon reviews stating this). Also I'm worried my tripod (best designed for light weight DSLRs) won't be able to keep a 20x80 stable enough, and I'd end up spending more money on a new one. Please help I really don't know what to pick! xD Thank you!
