Yes I have met Mick and he has been very helpful. He has suggested that the 8" would be a good starting point. Also another member bought one recently and is very happy with it.
Its good also as it should arrive in Sarina includuding freight for about $460 which is within the budget (Andrews Communications). It may not rival Hubble but it should be fun and a good start. The Dob should also make it easier for myself and my daughter than an EQ mount.
Also I downloaded the article about photography using a Dob, it was really interesting. But thats for later, maybe. My first task with my daughter is to learn the sky and look at some simple and pretty sites and the planets for now.
