Hi Im a freakin n00b when it comes to exploring the Uni. I just got my income tax refund of $991 beautiful dollars after working for only two months at RadioShack. Anyways, I want to buy the best telescope I can get for $200-$250. I checked out Telescopes.com which seems to have some pretty good deals but I dont know what the heck I should get because a lot of the features confuse me. I would rather not spend more than $200 because I need to save summa dat dough to get my brakes fixed and for a trip to Houston, TX to get stoned and drunk. I want to be able to see the planets perfectly and maybe be able to see some galaxies if thats at all possible. Space experts please help me find some aliens!!!

Yea I know I just thought maybe I could see something. I dont know a whole lot about the moon or anything but Im guessing the moon doesnt spin? It just goes around the earth? Thats weird. So I guess that would be a pretty good hiding spot for them. What if theres like some big ole base back there with a whole bunch of cities of aliens. That would be crazy!

So I can scan the surface of the moon perfectly with a nice telescope? I have some pretty good binoculars and I could see the moon really good and clear but it was really hard to keep it steady so I would really appreciate the stillness of a telescope.
