Hi all

I am planning on buying a new telescope in the near future, as this hobby really fascinates me.

I can spend around 600-650$, I had a look at the SkyWatcher SW500 Newtonian EQ3 (150mm (6-inch) f/6.7 Newtonian on EQ3) at MyAstroShop which is 615$.

Is this a good telescope? I have looked at the Dobsonian Telescopes but they look awkward to mount and look through? Arent refractors easier to use?

I'm not really into Astrophotography at the moment, just want to locate some deep sky objects like nebulae,planets etc.

Any help would be much appreciated!
