CrazyGiza, looking through the eyepiece and seeing what we see needs a little technique and patience. Just a quick look by a random inexperienced user rarely gives a wow factor, unless it's the bands of Jupiter or rings of Saturn. I've looked through some big scopes and they can be pretty impressive but it often takes a little time to see what's there. The whole point of a big big scope after all is not to look at the big bright things that can be seen just as well with a small scope, but to go for faint fuzzies.
If I were you, I'd look up electronically assisted astronomy...there are some cams on the market now with super sensitive sensors that work well with goto setups that don't require an equatorial mount, and software (like Sharpcap) that stack a series of short frames as time passes. By short frames, we're talking a few seconds, so that field rotation doesn't impact each frame. Also lookup lucky imaging, using the same cameras some folk are producing some pretty amazing results.
