Astronomy and terrestrial

[Ally8446]

Hi guys. My uncle has just moved from the city to the coast and has asked me for some advice. What he'd like is a telescope or binocular setup that would enable him to browse the night sky but also allow him to watch ships/boats and submarines on the Firth of Clyde, maybe a little twitching on the side. Budget around £100 to £150.

Any suggestions please.

What is going to be the main use? Astronomy or watching ships? If ships, how far away will they be? Does he need a high magnification or wide views? In any event terrestrial viewing requires lenses rather than mirrors so I suspect the budget might have to be stretched a bit.

Thanks guys.  He's actually gone with a Skywatcher Startravel 102. Picks it up in a week or so. Just requires me traveling  50 miles northwest of Glasgow from mid Wales to show him how to use it. Bless.

Quite a good choice actually, I have two of them mounted as a binocular for very much the same reasons.
