G'day Toto, welcome.

For a long time I only had a 4.25" reflector. It was a peice of junk I made it out of PVC tube and I bought the mirrors from a scope shop in Melbourne (back then I paid $750 just for the 4.25" Pri mirror and 2ndary mirror).

That hunk of junk showed me amazing sights.

Now, 20 years later I finally jumped to 12".

I actually use my naked eyes more than scopes and binocs.

If you want to go up in size, test drive some other scopes at clubs and societies. The members will help you with info and pricing of each one. Don't rely on what the shops say, ask owners of scopes.

Good luck and keep enjoying the sky!
