Been looking at various telescopes for a while now and this seems half decent. Was looking at the Skywatcher Heritage and Celestron first scope, but this seems good too.

This will make small blobs into very,very,very slightly bigger blobs.

Especially as you can observe the phases. Other good targets are Jupiter with the 4 galilean moons and the The Pleiades and Beehive cluster through a low power eyepiece.

Well it is a good deal. Only thing is that I in beloved country of our wee only get to use it to see stars about twice a year!

So true, you get bored of the moon after all (amazing though it is).
Would not look at stars. They're pretty dull. Look for Venus
Overall seems like worth the punt. Bought, thanks OP.

Good thing to start with, big enough size to be worthwhile, and an equatorial mount.
