    Maybe you should just get some glasses and a hearing aid.  I'm wondering if that is the cause of this.  Maybe you are not hearing what I hear and seeing what the world sees.

    The obvious answer is Uranus.  However, might I suggest the moon?  No, not the moon in your neighbor's window as that can lead to a broken telescope (and let me tell you, it's no fun having your telescope in a cast for 6 weeks).

    Study the sun for a little bit every day.  I had a telescope long time ago;  it was interesting to watch where the sunspots were changing all the time.

    First ... it depends on if it's a telescope designed for astronomy or not.

    If not ... I'd recommend the college dorm of your favorite gender.
