I want it for stargazing, moon, etc.

the best fit for me at this stage is the Skywatcher BD150X750 newtonian reflector or Bintel 6" f5
for moon and planets F5 would not be ideal. F5 is a fast light collector and therefore fine for faint, distant objects like deep space nebula.

Jupiter would only look like a very bright star through F5 - it did so through mine, at least (8" F/5 newtonian).



But don't take it from me. I hope someone else will pitch in and agree or disagree.
Or maybe you already made a decision towards viewing deep space objects?
