Hi C501..how about a scope that would be easy to set up and view through..(especially between feeds and nappy changes!!)..may I suggest a 8 inch dobsonian refector..not too big or small..they transport well and give great views of planets and deep sky stuff..plus you can purchase a good one for around $500 to $600.. which will leaves you some change for a couple of necessary items such as a collimation tool...planisphere..star atlas..and maybe couple of extra eyepieces..a barlow eyepiece..a can of airbrush...some isoproypl alcohol and a "lenspen" to keep your eyepieces clean...take a trip to an astro club in your area and sample some views..Cheers!!
