Welcome to IIS
Personally I would opt for the Skywatcher 8” collapsible dob as your starter telescope ( if budget allows get the Goto version )
The 8” dob comes with ( I think ) a 8 x 50 finder scope anyway , plus some entry level eye pieces
This scope will provide great views of most objects in the night sky
A great all round scope
I hope others chime in and provide advice for you , but that’s my recommendation
I started with a 10” dob and it gave me great views and good grounding in astronomy for the first 3 years
I now have a Skywatcher 12” Goto dob which is my scope for life or until I can’t move it anymore
Good Luck and enjoy this amazing hobby !
