Thank you for all of your detailed responses they have been very helpful!

I will be looking into the Dobsonian mount this weekend.

Thank you for your response.

I want to start off with visual astronomy and perhaps later on I might go into astrophotography. Out of the two telescopes I have mentioned which one do you think will be better for my use? Currently I am more inclined to buy Sky-Watcher explorer 150p EQ3-2 F/1200.

Hi everyone,

I am newbie that wants to get started in astronomy. I need help selecting my first telescope. I don’t want something too basic that I will never touch again once I have gained enough experience. I am interested in observing deep space objects. 
 

I was looking into buying Sky-Watcher explorer 150p EQ3-2 F/1200 or Sky-watcher Explorer 130p Reflector Telescope. Are these any good? If you have any better suggestions please let me know.

Kind regards,

CoffeeEmerald
