I was thinking the Orion SkyQuest XT4.5 Classic Dobsonian, but any other ones that are under $350 would be fine. I want more advice before I buy stuff.
P.S. If there is such thing as a cheap Celestron telescope (’cheap’ as in not over $700), then that would be great!

Sorry this might look stupid question but I have never used a telescope. I only see the pictures of NASA and other ones on the internet, about nebula and other superb images.

I know they are processed images and very distant ones, but can we see them like that through our telescope at house?
