My wife is wanting a telescope for her b-day that is coming up. SHe is starting to get into astronomy, not super into it but a little. So I am looking for a good telescope for her but probally not something that can look up a martians nose on Mars.
Also as she is just getting into it I do not want to spend a lot of money on one until I am sure that this is not a passing fancy.
So I thought that I would ask the most knowledgable group of people that I know what I should be looking for and where I can find them.
