Oh dear for sure Morton .
If the moon and planets are your thing. , have a look on Optics Central,s web page , right hand side of the Ice in Space front page.
Open the telescopes page then open Equatorial mount,s link . Go down to the Saxon 'Volicity 150mm f8 ' on eq3 mount , for 600$ you won't get a better lunar scope and the mount is a ripper that can be upgraded to full GOTO when finance allows , good for deep sky as well .
I think Astro Pete sells this great scope as well ?.
My 5c on this
