Where can I buy a good Astronomical Telescope?

You can buy a good newtonian telescope from http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=newtonian%20Telescope&tag=189-20&index=electronics&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325
Your best course of action is to get in touch with your local amateur astronomy club. You can find them on line. They will know the local dealers that have established a reputation for integrity and service. You can also take the opportunity to attend a few observing sessions and try out a few scopes before you buy.

There are several different kinds of telescopes and all of them have some excellent features. Refractors and Reflectors, plus Schmidt-Cassegrain, APO refractors, Mac-Cass, and many more. There are also several mounts to chose from and the mounts are just as important, if not even more important, than the scope is. All of the different scopes and mounts have some features that some people like and do not like. No two eyeballs are the same and the perfect scope for one person might be completly wrong for another person.
There is no one scope that is "better" than another —except for the junk scopes out there which are all just a waste of money. Never, ever buy from Walmart, Costco, Target, or any other discount store like that. Junk scopes are flooded into the market from those stores. You will be buying nothing but bad optics and plastic.
If you are new at this, then stay away from anything used from any site. If you don’t know what you are buying and who you are buying from you will most likely be getting someone else’s headache—with no warranty either. Buyer beware you know. Some great deals on used equipment, by people who know how to use and take care of scopes, are out there but if you don’t know what you are doing, you might be spending a lot of money on junk.

This is great freeware that you can download. Tell it where you are and it will tell you what you see. Ask it where something is and it will show you.
I wish you all the best! Enjoy!

Start with joining your local astronomy club. They can help you chose and use a decent scope.
In the meantime, I suggest a good 6" to 8" Dobsonian mounted Newtonian reflector. You can find some great prices at http://www.telescope.com
