For visual observing, aperture makes a lot of difference. Dobs have the advantage that aperture can be gained very cheaply.

Ditto Malcolm, I wouldn't go near it, way too small for a cassegrain.

Frankly, I think you would be much better off with an *" Skywatcher with GOTO, it isn't that much more.

Jake, how much do you want to spend?

Cheers Pete
