My 2 cents:
if you can sometimes observe with others get a 10" dob. Other observers can help you with finding objects and the 10" is not too hard to carry and is easily shifted around the yard by trolley.
If you observe solo get a used 8"LX90. It can do a guided tour of the sky and show you a dozen objects in as many minutes if you want. You won't be feeling discouraged by not being able to find things.
