    thank you for the reply,any advice on shops in the city centre where i can buy the stuff??..

    as it happens i have an old pair of 10 x 50 binoculars lying around,so i just went out for 20 minutes and had a look at the sky,really hard to steady them with my hand but i did get a decent enough view of the moon,as for jupiter,its no good,i cant get any kind of a view with the binoculars,its still just a bright spot,really hard to get a good focus on jupiter also,the binoculars are real old and have been lying in a drawer for about a decade so mayb i cant get a good focus due to that. i put my mobile phone up to the lens and snapped some shots of the moon,i was pretty impressed with the pic for such bad equipment i was using

    I'd stick with the binos for a while. Some people get a lifetimes use out of them. Great for the 'big picture'. As far as city centre shops go, there's not a lot available. Mostly camera shops who carry some basic gear. Astronomy Ireland have a shop near beaumont. Well stocked with a huge range. A little on the pricey side, but you will get good advice. Aside from this, you're probably looking at heading north, or buying online.
