>>2710946no problemo. And for a starter telescope, it really depends what you plan to do, and how much you're ready to invest.
Basically, if you want to do any kind of astrophotography (except the moon), you will need a tracking (equatorial) mount. And its expensive. You will spend at least €1000-1200 for your scope and mount. If you want to do only visual atronomy, it will be cheaper.
Then for the scope itself, there are 3 main types, again it depends on what you want to do:
-reflectors (=mirrors) telescopes: cheap, big apertures, light, good for deep sky, but need maintenance (aligning the mirrors from time to time) Its not difficult but can be scary the first times.
-refractors (=lenses): basically like a big telephoto. Expensive, heavy, but better image quality. Smaller diameters, no collimation and maintenance to do.
-hybrids, like Schmidt-Cassegrains: very compact telescopes, uses mirror and lens, high magnification/focal lengths but has lower light gathering ability. Very good for planets or bright objects, not for deep sky faint objects. Some will fit in your backpack for travel.
My advice to start astrophotography is something like a f/5 newtonian reflector, with an aperture of ~150mm. And the mount to go with it (EQ5 or above, if you want to put a heavier scope on it later)
Check websites like:
http://www.astroshop.eu/telescopes/10/a,Teleskope.Montierung.Montierungstyp=Equatorial/a,Teleskope.Optik.Typ=ReflectorYou have filters on the left where you can choose your price/aperture range etc. Again, pay extra attention to your mount and the weight it can carry. Better mount = more accurate tracking and longer exposures.
