Welcome to the forum Mario,

I'm not going to wade in on the choice of scope; there is some great advice in the post's below & Raymo in particular has put together a great summary of the strengths and weaknesses of each scope type.

I will however, direct your attention to some threads in the beginners talk section posted by Mental4Astro regarding Lunar, planetary & nebula viewing..

These among some other posts Alex(M4A) has posted are an excellent resource for starting out as they explain what you can actually see, why & how to get better at seeing (because it does take practice)...

I was going to link to them in this thread but, I can't actually find them.. however, I have them collated in word format so, if you would like them, send me a PM with your email address & I will happily forward them to you.

Cheers
