First Telescope

[Danzi]

Hello

For my birthday i am getting my first telescope. I dont really know what some of the info means.

So i ask, what do i need to look out for, for my first telescope. I am most interested in the planets and nebulas at the moments, if that is any help?

What magnification will it need etc?

Thanks

There's no use reinventing the wheel.....just check out the thread "Looking to buy your first telescope?" on the next page...lots of useful info there.

I bumped that thread to bring it to the first page, and will try and get it pinned.-MW
