As a fellow Newbie my advice is current. Don't waste a single moment of your time agonising over what scope to purchase, instead focus on the mount! Buy the BEST mount your budget can afford then double that figure! The scope will look after itself. Once paired to a GREAT mount even an average scope will perform well.
The "mount effect" can be seen within the Astrophotography crowd, very, very, good refractors paired with "out of this world" mounts. In truth much of the very best and coolest tech in astronomy resides in the mounts that hold our scopes.
Focus on the mount, then everything else will happen.
Cheers David
