8 Inch dob gets my vote. Wish I started with an 8 inch dob instead of 6 Inch newt on an equatorial. Beginners astronomy would have been a lot more simple and frankly fun. I seriously disagree with starting with a equatorial like an eq5 unless Astrophotography is on the cards in the near future.

An 8 inch dob is not difficult to move around, unless your bound to a wheel chair or crutches or your feeble and arthritic.
