I imagined messier 51 about two years back when my dso setup wasnt giving me any problems lol, a very beautiful galaxy. This was about 3 hours in a b5 BUT my scope is f/3 so very fast.

What budget telescope would you recommend for someone who has barely any experience? I also heard that binoculars can sight some good stuff.
