Of the two, I think that I prefer the second one. Wine and spirits are a little closer than the stars.

Derek,

Celestron is a pretty good brand of telescope.

I have a small 70 mm short barrelled refractor by Meade and it is great for observing the moon and planets (I've even discerned the M 42 with it)

Happy Star Gazing!

Cheers

Good purchase on both accounts. Enjoy your new views of the Heavens!

In pursuit of your new hobby, try taking that to the wetland sometime for spotting shorebirds and waterfowl. I've used a similar one and it worked great.
