Hi,

Found this Celestron Powerseeker 80EQ posted online for only 200sgd. If i decided to buy this telescope, what are your suggestions regarding some added accessories or upgrades or anything, im just a beginner and have a really tight budget.

(The seller sent me the actual pic but i dont know how to attach it here)

What is your total budget? That will affect your options after you less of $200 from it.

You may want to do the necessary research and background checks on the reliability of any online seller.
