I tried to search the archives but didn't come up with anything related.

I'm trying to find a good beginners telescope. Any recommendations or beware of? Thanks!

I don't know what your budget is, but this is what we are saving up to buy. It is a great one for kids because the viewing area is large. It can be $20 cheaper if you don't have the tripod, but it won't be as stable either. We have a cheaper version from Walmart and you just can't get enough magnification for it to be effective.

Thanks, the Orion was on another list I found. But I don't think I'm ready to spend that much...yet Maybe if this first one works out, I'll come back to it.

I have also been reading to stay clear of department store or toy shop options.

I'm thinking about this Celestron. I read that Celestron is good brand as far as telescopes go
