    Try looking for a telescope that has a location device (something that helps you locate cirtain areas, constolations, and other celestial bodies), a telescope with multilenses (may allow for deeper and/or brighter seeing), good quality, cheapness, and a "how to use" booklet. And anything else you or other people can think of.

    • Good points. The location device is a crutch. Newbies should learn to use a telescope without a finder.

    • I prefer to spend my time looking AT stars, not looking FOR them. Scopes with computerized finders, also called GO-TO scopes, are great for the beginner.
