Question by ā„10MONTHSWITHOUT MICHAELJACKSONā„: Can someone help me choose to buy a telescope.I am so confused.?
Ok the thing is i really want a telescope that can make me see the planets,important stars,constellations and other universal objects.Every time i go out and look at the stars,i feel so lost because i don't know how to locate any constellations,planets or other objects.I feel like a complete dummy and i want to discover what is out here.It looks amazing and i am sure if i knew more about it,it would even be more amazing and not as vague as i always think it is.So should i make my own telescope/binocular or buy this telescope.Plus can binoculars be an alternative to telescopes.
This is the telescope i have decided to buy.It is cheap compared to others.It costs like 202 dollars plus what do u think of it from the description.

Total waste of money, not even good as a door stop. Lenses are too small. Stand is too light and shakey. Go to a meeting of local astronomy club. Talk to members. View through good scopes.
www.skyandtelescope.com has a search function for clubs and contacts.
