I agree with Renato. I have a spotting scope set up for terrestrial and astro grab and go and it gets a lot of use even though I have larger scopes to use. There is a lot to see and events to observe, more than could be listed here.
But the key, as Renato has said, is a finder, a steady mount and some form of slow motion controls. I have attached photos of my set up. I think they tell the story. You can see that I have fashioned a simple bracket bolted behind the dovetail clamp to hold a handle and the red dot finder
Starting with this and visiting some viewing nights will help you get a clearer picture of the type of observing that interests you and the type of scope to get.
Cheers
Steve
