is cstar a good company to buy telescopes from?
i was thinking of getting the 60mm spotting scope/telescope, its 80 dollars. does that sound reasonable for a begginer?
In short, these look like what are sometimes called "hobby killers". You may well get little use apart from seeing the moon and terrestrial objects.
Read this, especially the heading "Money And Before You Buy". Ignore that it's for Australia; the principle is the same. Ignore the prices too, because they're in Aust dollars for 2002.

You would do better with a good pair of 50mm binoculars an a book of star maps, especially "Nightwatch" by Terence Dickinson.
I also strongly advise finding a local amateur astronomy club. They'd love to help, and show you what you can expect to see through different scopes. Don't rush into this.
