Actually just cancelled the order. I'm looking for a smaller travel size, easy to use and not expensive one.
In that instance I highly recommend binoculars. Fujinon makes a wonderful 10x70, and the Russian big binos are a pretty good deal. I’ve had my 20x90s for fifteen years now.

Scope-wise I’d be looking at a small 6-inch “Dobsonian” reflector. Refractors that are worth the money are amazingly expensive. Use some money for a good (Tele Vue is the Cadillac) wide-field eyepiece, and “Burnham’s Catalog”. A very engaging book about the night sky. And Sky Atlas starmaps.

Nice....what were u thinking of getting, or were getting?
It was a $100 amazon "deal" I found cheaper and off amazon the reviews where crap. But now I'm at square one and don't really know what to buy. It's just a stepping stone for them....if they show interest I'll upgrade. If not well then maybe I should just get something to bring camping or in the jeep that can look at the stars. Still looking closer to $200 if you want a tripod
