So my daughter has expressed an interest in stargazing, so last night we drove out to there serenity golf course (east of the city) is and looked at the sky for a bit (and got eaten by mosquitos).

i am thinking about buying a telescope (as i like to make sure her and i bond over certain activities - we make sure we go and see all the marvel movies as well).

what do i need to know about telescopes - i'd like to keep the spend to around $200 if possible. Outside of amazon/kijiji/facebook market place - where would one go to buy a telescope in Calgary? I guess, i am asking where is the telescope district?

Other than the observatory, where do folks congregate to do this? I live in New Brighton is the SE, so the serenity location was easily accesible.

PS - there was a similar thread, but it is 10 years old, so I thought I'd give the topic a reboot
