>>4270508Even with light pollution you can still see some objects of interest. For example, the moon is the brightest thing in the sky. My personal favorite are the planets, Jupiter and Saturn are extremely bright as well. If I were to start from scratch right now, knowing what I know, I would personally start off with the Orion StarBlast 4.5. Look up youtube videos. Highly recommended.
You can also consider buying something that is dual-purpose for astronomy and daytime use. The best example of this being binoculars. I use binoculars all the time for astronomy, even more so than my telescope. It's easier to grab and go. And of course, binoculars project a right-side-up image, so perhaps this is also useful to a beginner just learning the night sky. A decent pair of Pentax Jupiter binoculars (10x50 or 8x40) can be had for under 100 US bux.
Just please don't get whatever the fuck is in OP image. It will make you hate astronomy and kill the hobby for you.
