My husband would love a telescope but don't really know where to start. I bought him one previously for £100 but it was shockingly bad so was sent back.....

He just wants a good decent one for a beginner ... any ideas on models/spec & cost?

Thank you

For astronomy you really need a reflector with at least a 6 inch mirror.
If you can't afford that ( around £300) you are better off with a decent pair of binoculars.
