Don't miss out on stellarium, it's free to all http://www.stellarium.org/ and jolly good it is too.
Hi xxcon, that is not particularly cheap, for £120 you should be able to get a 110mm mirror,tripod, equatorial mount, (absolutely essential) and a motor drive (crude but effective), with a 70mm lens you probably wont be able to see the bands on jupiter, (you can with 110mm). Maximum useable magnification no more than 50X. Magnification is proportional to mirror diameter.
