Beginner as well
Hey Nick,
I was in the same boat as you earlier this year, ive always been interested in astronomy and i finally decided to get a telescope. I ended up using a 302 bintel dob from sydney. Through doing a bit of reaserch, and my beginner level, the dob seemed to be the way to go. I agree with eric, go for the 8 inch you wont be disappointed. I went the 12 inch dob as i wanted a good appeture and something that i will be using for many years to come. Good luck when you get your new scope and if your like me once you look through the eyepiece the first time you will be hooked.
Cheers
Scott
