This is a dangerous path your contemplatiing, for aperture fever will haunt you the rest of your days. While Bintel is a nice place to shop and ask questions be aware, like any business, they will channel you to what they offer. Check their products online first. Read read read about the types of scopes that best suit your goals. A basic Alt/Az mount sall you need, no motor drives, goto, etc, the Vixen Porta II mount is a good one that could serve you for many years to come and support scopes up to 100mm refractors easily. Even if you wind up with a big 16" dobsonian in years to come, or start astrophotography with an equatorial goto mount, the Vixen Porta II can always fill the need for a grab and go setup. Good luck, research is fun.
