Hi Richard
This is a very good suggestion! Think very carefully about upgrading after only 2 months. $1500 is a big investment in a 150mm 'scope that will not show you much more than what you see with the 130mm.
Investing in a new 8" Dob will cost ~ $500 and give you superior views. Alternatively, have a look in the IceTrades - you can get a very good 2nd hand 'scope there. For the money you save, you can get a few nice quality eyepieces, etc.
This is an infectious hobby. The best advice is to go along to a viewing evening and try a few different 'scopes and consider what you want to get out of this hobby.
Cheers
John
