To get you started Dirk, while you're figuring out which scope to buy, look up the constellation "Orion" on the net and try to find it in the night sky. Orion is very easy to recognise once you've seen it the first time and it's roughly overhead in the evening at this time of year. In the middle of this constellation is one of the best grey blobs in the entire sky, easily spotted in binoculars. Thruogh an 8" scope this grey blob becomes a large and detailed patch of nebulosity. Through a 10" scope it starts to show subtle color. Once you know part of the sky you can build on that like a jigsaw puzzle.
