dont buy a telescope from argos. go online and find a telescope specialist. if you could push the boat out a little and buy a reflector rather than a refractor to maybe around €320 you wont regret it. dont worry about magnification... no point magnifying something your telescope cant pick up; it's light gathering capacity that matters.. look for something that has as large a mirror as your budget allows. i bought a 9inch newtonian reflector about 10 years ago and it still serves me well.
