Another Central Coast local! Great to see!

What's your budget?
What do you primarily want to do with the scope? ie: just visual, or astrophotography as well?
How portable does it need to be? Will you osberve from home all the time, or will you go to star parties and observing meets?
Have you owned any other telescopes, or looked through any other scopes?
It might be worth coming along to a local observing meet (we meet up at Mangrove Mountain) - you'll get a chance to look through some different types of scopes and maybe change your mind about what you're looking for!
