Oh yes, of course! Lovely sight that in winter here in the UK. That is a lovely telescope sight, even my cheap newt shows that really well!

Sammy, are you only into stars or do you observe our very own moon? Even with a binocular, the moon is a great sight.

I do a bit of planetary observing too. I also have this Russian terrestrial telescope that's a 20x50. It's excellent for looking at the moon! I bought an old, small tripod to go with it. Sadly, I managed to snap the bottom off one of it's legs when I nearly tripped over it! The tripod still works, but it's quite a few inches shorter now....
I'd recommend that setup for cheap kit - that telescope came from Ebay and cost £10, and the tripod was about £8, again from Ebay. I would recommend a slightly more expensive and therefore stable tripod though, this one was a bit wobbly (before I broke it, that is!)

I would like to point out that Astrology, far from being silly, is the forerunner of modern Astronomy, the history of Astrology is very interesting as it allows us to see how our anscestors studied the heavens.
Astrophysics was my subjct rather than Astronomy, but very interesting all the same.

Have you guys ever looked at uranus through your telescopes?
(I'm deeply, deeply sorry but it HAD to be done!!)
