Go for a binocular.
Since you mentioned you are an amateur, I would suggest you first read up a lot about telescope and the variety of lenses, before you invest in it. Telescopes are very expensive these days and also you need to buy certain accessories along with it.
Once you have read about the gadget, enroll yourself at any astronomical club, where you can use a telescope to star gaze.
Alternatively, instead of spending money on one telescope, you can go for a space camp, where you'll get to handle various hi-fi telescopes. There you'll also get hands-on astronaut training. hence you will get a broader overview and a first hand knowledge of space and astronomy, which i think is a great opportunity for any space lover! well check out this link if you're interested .... http://spacecampindia.com/

∙ 14y agoIf you aren't going to be serious about setting up the telescope and going out to watch the skies, then the money you would spend on a good telescope would be wasted. (There is absolutely no point in buying a cheap telescope!)
Download the free Stellarium planetarium program, and this will let you know what to look for in the sky.
It doesn't really matter if you have any knowledge of astronomy; you'll learn.

Who first used a telescope to study astronomy?
Galileo was the first to use the telescope for astronomical observation. Galileo based his telescopes on ones he saw Dutch sailers on trading ships using. So you have to go back to the Netherlands to find earlier telescope makers/users. It is likely the Dutch may have adapted the idea from someone else before them.
