Shaun,
Good luck with your scope!
Whre you are I think any scope will be great.
Where I am the air is polluted and not to mention light pollution.
I have a 4" Goto Macksutov, which I enjoy from dark sites but this week I bought a 16"
Dob!
I' mlooking forward to learn how to find things to look at as the dob has no Goto!
But first I have get the hang of collimating. No luck tonight, all clouds
.
Happy star gazing!
