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.

I was thinking of a dob .you get lot more for your money but because I don't know were anything is in the sky I thought goto might be better.
