Thanks for all your advice and support!

Good choice! While I usually recommend and 8", largely because I am conscious that most beginners have budgetary constraints, the 10" is a scope that will help you see more and is still easy to handle. A 12" starts to be a big commitment in space and effort!
Looking forward to hearing how you get on.
