yep depends on what you really want to do in the future i think we all need at least need 3 scopes to be happy with a viewing scope with huge app the bigger the better (dob) the 12" was the biggest i could go as they are quite heavy for little old me to carry around ( i got a trolly for xmas so i can carry it around by myself now woohooo) a nice refractor for imaging and a solar scope oh and a pair of binos are fun too

Go to Andrews Communications in Sydney they are the cheapest around

happy shopping cheers
