Im new here and looking to buy a telescope

[John Baars]

Hi Alek, I am a bit late for this party and missed all the fun.

Whatever you do, never buy a telescope with a built-in focal extender: a telescope with a long focal length, but looks like a very short one. The built -in extender ( that is where your idea of the barlow came from) in those telescopes is of very questionable quality and once out of alignment a simple amateur can not align it any more. (like # 3 in post 9) In the Netherlands, where you write from, it is even blacklisted by Astroforum.nl

The 6 inch Lady Fraktor suggested is a good one if you have room enough like a garden for instance. If you observe from a narrower place, like a balcony, the short refractors you mentioned are all right. I have one as a grab&go, as you can see in my signature. The shorter, the less wobbly on those mounts.

It seems that manufacturers always put their economic telescopes on way too light mounts, for economical reasons.
If you want to see telescopes in action you can look here where to do it. And ask a lot of questions of course.

Congrats on the new telescope. Short tube refractors are fun to use. It will serve you well. Don't rush in to buying more accessories. Start observing and while you getting experience you will see better what additional EPs you will need to buy.

Included 4mm EP will likely be hard to use, but 20mm will give you ~ 23x and if you use it with barlow ~70x. Good enough to start.
