I'm considering on getting a telescope (seeing as I'm already space crazy). Now, I'm very limited in knowledge as far as telescopes go.

I'm thinking of getting the following one (it's rather expensive, so I don't want to make any mistakes).

ULTRAOPTEC 1000x114mm Reflector Telescope
50x eyepiece
167x eyepiece
Equatorial mount
6x30 viewfinder
31.7mm diameter focusing tube

I want to be able to view both planets as well as nebulae. Is this a decent enough telescope that will last me a long time (can't afford to get another one).

Also has anyone heard of the manufacturer? I can't seem to find any information on them.
