A Dob is absolutely the way to go, ease of operation, virtually instant set up,
and biggest bang for your buck. One thing you could consider is a 6" if an
8" would stretch your budget too far. Even a 6" will show enough objects to

can sell the 6" here on our classifieds further down the track, and get an 8"
or a 10", they come up here quite frequently.
