    Have any stargazers or amateur astronomers here? I know nothing about astronomy. But my 10-year-old nephew is interested in astronomy lately. So I want to buy an astronomical telescope for him. Any brand can you recommend?
    Thanks a lot.

    My two initial recommendations - either a dobsonian style, where you get a tremendous amount of scope for the value (downside is they are big and can be cumbersome to move around); or something like a celestron nexstar, for the ease of use and auto tracking feature. I would also budget for some extra filters, eyepieces, and a 2x barlow.
