as a beginner in stargazing, I guess he juz wanna look at the planets, get a feel of owning a telescope before investing in more sophisticated stuff. so prob this might fit his criteria for now.
Did he manage to attend any public stargazing sessions previously?

Haha Gary, I agree. It is kinda funny to discuss this equipment in a Buy and Sell thread. [smilie=evil-smile.gif]
