Chris YoYo asked:


I want to buy a telescope for amateur astronomy. I know nothing about telescopes.

Can you tell me things like -

Brands to look for, which ones to avoid?
Specifications I should be looking at?
Best place in UK or on internet to buy from?

I’m an absolute novice in this area so any help would be appreciated.

Recently I have become interested in the idea of amateur astronomy. How much do I need to spend on a telescope to be able to see anything interesting? What kind of telescope do I need? What strength magnification do I need? How much do I need to spend?
