Another newby

Hi folks,

I'm just another newby and in need of advice. I've been reading and researching what telescope should I get as a beginner and was set for a dob 8 or 10. However, I called one of the shops today and was told that a dob may be too difficult for a beginner, specially for finding and tracking objects. I was recommended something like a reflector scope such as a Saxon 150 that comes with EZ so in theory, it's easier to find objects.
I am after a telescope that allows me to see planets (Venus, Saturn) and some deep space objects. Also something that doesn't break the bank. I'm in Vic, Pakenham.
Any tips and recommendations would've appreciated.

Thank you so much,
YB
