My First Telescope

I am waiting for my new telescope I ordered. It should come tomorrow, which is exciting! I'm a big kid when it comes to parcels arriving.

After doing quite a bit of research online I decided not to jump in too deeply and I have ordered a recommended beginner's scope. After a great deal of internal debate I finally went for the Sky-Watcher Explorer 130pm. It seems to get a lot of good reviews and was less than £200. I could have gone for a more expensive one but I want to see if I take to my new hobby first. This is what it is supposed to look like:

The blurb on the website I looked at gives the following specifications for this scope:

Specification:

Eyepieces Supplied (1.25"): 10mm & 25mm
Magnifications (with optics supplied): x26, x52, x65, x130
Highest Practical Power (Potential): x260
Diameter of Primary Mirror: 130mm - 30% more Light Gathering than 114mm
ALL Sky-Watcher reflector mirrors are Multi-Coated with Silicon Dioxide as standard for Optimum Durability and Long Term Performance.
Telescope Focal Length: 650mm (f/5)
x2 Barlow Lens
R.A. Motor Drive (D.C.) (PP3 battery not supplied)
Parabolic Primary Mirror
0.5mm Ultra-Thin Secondary Mirror Supports
Red Dot Finder
EQ2 Equatorial Mount
Aluminium Tripod with Accessory Tray
*Sky at Night Magazine Group Test Winner*

Frankly I have no idea what some of this means but hopefully it will actually let me see the moon (if it doesn't I have problems because I can see that from here!) and some of the planets and interesting stars but we shall see. I ordered a couple of extra eyepieces so I can get the full potential power from the scope and to give me a few more options.
