Watchmen

Thank you all for your responses it has helped a lot as i am so new to this and really don't have a clue I will take look at the links you have all supplied and do a bit more digging on this site to see what others have said but on a quick look i think the Heritage 130p or 150p would be perfect for exaclty what we would want to use it for as the moment and its perfetly transportable so can come on trips down to the new forest. Can this scope be mounted on a tripod is it better to have it site on what some would say a more sturdier table?

Is there any reason as to why or is it a case of they have the knowledge behind what they are selling, just that one is a perfect price point and seems to be a fairly decent go to beginers scope (I could be wrong as me too don't know anything) Just general viewing at the moment say moon, planets like Jupitar, Mars and Saturn and Nebulas would be a great added bonus. We wold be viewing from our backgarden the light polution is quite a lot but in the dead of night we can see a hell of a lot of stars with the naked eye thanks for your reply

Hi All, New to the site and just looking for some advise. I am currently looking for a telescope for my partner and was wondering which ones to look at and if any one has had an experiance with the one linked below and if its any good for just occasional use and star gazing maybe the odd photo on a smartphone/Sony A5100 of would it be better to look at something else max budget would be around £150 for now we both have no experiance with this so would be completely new to it all but its something we both have wanted to start doing. https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/cameras-and-camcorders/photography-accessories/telescopes/celestron-114az-sr-reflector-telescope-black-10214647-pdt.html?istCompanyId=bec25c7e-cbcd-460d-81d5-a25372d2e3d7&istFeedId=2f489429-2329-4fcd-941a-a6a497a10e1d&istItemId=iqtqmxaxr&istBid=t&awc=1599_1607958139_9d128207de81558ae687f4e5005358e4&srcid=369&xtor=AL-1&cmpid=aff~Genie Shopping~Comparison Engine~259955~Staircase+51+Ltd+(Genie+Shopping) Thanks
