This video is wonderful, i wanna get a telescope.. any recommendations? ( around 300/400 euro’s )

[@sang3Eta]

Meade ETX 70/80/90 if you need it portable and goto. Or a larger 150/200 Newtonian or Dobson if you just want the best view from your back garden.

[@erdnaelarresaccor3450]

If you just want to watch beautiful object and be amazed without aving to deal with complex settings, go for a Dobson, it's the best choice for a beginner. My first telescope was a Dobson and I don't regret it.

[@curtcoller3632]

Yes, get one that can beam you up Scotty

[@NOLASkaGuitarist]

Do you want to do astrophotography or not? 400 EUR won't get you much to go off of for astrophotography. For visual astronomy, IMO nothing can beat an 8" Dobsonian telescope (if it's not too big and heavy, for most it isn't), which falls right into your price range and will serve you up pleasing views of both planets and deep sky objects.

[@dankuspanku4650]

I would recommend a 90mm refractor telescope on a quality mount. If you want most aperture for your money I would recommend a 200mm dobsonian reflector.

[@charlessands6933]

Although I've been viewing the moon telescopically for nearly 40 years (sinve 1986), this is the first time I've ever heard of it referred to as any specific color. The fact that I have never confirmed that I've seen it might have something to do with it.
