I don't really expect much like seeing Saturn as its near my windows, but i would love something that would help at least see it's ring and of course, something that I would be sure it's my un experienced self not being able to achieve a nice work rather than it's being telescope's fault. I know I'm asking too much when I seek Quality and Cheap in the same place, forgive my manner please but unfortunately I'm an student and it's a little bit rough  I have done some researches and know that EQ is not really beginner friendly, however I believe I'm a fast learner, but still I'm not sure if it's something that takes a really long time to be ok with or it's really not that hard |

A rough estimate of budget and intended used would be nice. What is expensive for one can be cheap for another person.

What is your budget? If you plan to use telescope for visual observation then I would recommend getting a Dobsonian telescope.

Everyone is biased of course – but I think that you get way more bang for your buck with Newtonian reflectors than anything else. Skywatcher 130- 150 mm that can go on a small equatorial mount a good starting setup maybe if you want to image — or as said above - a dobsonian for visual.

As everyone has mentioned above, would be good to get a sense of your approx. budget. However from what you have mentioned you are looking for a proper telescope for Visual Astronomy and not Astrophotography. Hence in that case you can look at 6-8 Inch Newtonian Reflector Telescopes on a manual mount which can help you look at Planets, some stars in some amount of detail. Using some good eye pieces and Barlows you can observe Rings of Saturn, Jupiter Spot , Lunar Surface and some other planets well. A lot of astronomy dedicated stores offer Used gear at good budget prices and some are available on sites like Ebay as well. However you may want to verify the source and condition of the gear before you buy ! Hope this helps ! Happy Star gazing ! |

For just visual observation of planets/the moon, the best bang for the buck is always a used dobsonian telescope. ("Dobsonian" is a type of telescope. It means a newtownian style telescope on a dobsonian style base). Get the biggest aperture you can find within your budget on the used market.

As others have said, a used Newtonian or Dobsonian would give you the best return of investment for visual. A Dob has the advantage since it has a base and doesn’t require an equatorial mount.

You could go for used Dobsonian or a new table top dobsonian which you can find for around 100e to 150e. But be aware, it is a rabbits hole. You will quickly want to upgrade.
