Question
To whom it may concern,

I am starting to look into astronomy and recently bought a cheap telescope that is said to have 117x and I would like a way more powerful telescope, but at the same time I don't have the money to buy an expensive one. My main problem is that I do not understand the specifications about them. So I was wondering if you could tell me what to buy and what not to buy. I highly appreciate it and thank you very much for your time.

Sincerely,
Andrew

Answer
Andrew,

The best AllExperts astronomy person for telescope questions is Paul Wagner.  I recommend that you ask him instead of me.

I would try to answer you, but your time would be better spent reading a response from him.
