crash its a shame you dont live in sydney, i just gave away my old 4.5" refector, it would have got you started(and you wouldnt have dropped it like my friend's daughter did!!!)iv'e just bought a celestron nexstar 76 ,not a brilliant scope for colour but great for the solar system and imo clearer than the big scope at the dickson observatory in canberra, iv'e also seen the orion nebula and the horsehead nebula ,but not in colour but impressive all the same. i chose this scope for "learning the sky " i like the idea of a big dob but imo not much good if you dont know where to point it ,although theres plenty of expierienced astronomers on this forum who im sure would help you, but im enjoying the learning process. the only advice i can give from my own limited expierience is to buy or make a tripod/stand for your binoculars a much better view and easier on the arms!! good luck with your skywatching
