The purpose of a telescope is to gather light. The more aperture the telescope has the more light it can gather. The more light gathered the brighter the image will be. The brighter the image the more magnification that can be applied to the image. In fact, usable magnification can be determined by multiplying the aperture in inches by 50.
Eyepieces are one of the key feature of a telescope and can make or break a night of observing.
We wouldn't walk a mile for a Camel but we would run ten for a good set of eyepieces. A value-priced pair of binoculars will bring you more hours of stargazing happiness than a cheap 60mm telescope. You can also use the binoculars a hundred different ways while a telescope's use can be limiting. Seek out training. Read, call us or contact our your local astronomy club.
