Quick background: I have loved astronomy since childhood, about 50 years. But I haven’t had a telescope for observing in a long time.
My mother just passed away and now I think it is time to start thinking about reconnecting to my lifelong passion.
I joined the local astronomy club and will start getting involved with that.
I saw this scope on Facebook and I was wondering if this scope plus something like a set of 6/12.5/20 Gosky Plossl eyepieces for $44 might give me some reasonable viewing pleasure?
Yeah,I know it is not a great scope but I wonder if it might help me satisfy my desire to see some of the night sky again while I develop a more serious long range plan. Or would it just be a total waste of time?
As for my location I live in the suburbs with their typical level of light pollution but I can get away from that to at least tolerable skies in under half an hour.
Thanks and please feel free to be honest. I am not looking for vindication but helpful and constructive guidance.
