$400-700 would buy an 8 inch or 10 inch dob. You won't buy anything that's decent with Go-To capability at that price, so you may as well have decent optics and some aperture. The larger aperture of the 10 inch will allow you to see fainter objects, but will swallow up most of your budget, leaving little for any accessories. If it were me I would go for a 10 inch dob. Check the major Astro shops, e.g. Bintel, Andrews Communications, My Astroshop York optical etc. It's a good idea if you can to attend a get together somewhere and have a look through different scopes.
