A 10" low-cost Dob is a great all rounder, particularly if you have a good sky and can find some of the brighter Deep Sky objects. Have a look at https://www.bintelshop.com.au/welcome.htm. Their BT-252 10" Dobsonian is great value and fully checked and collimated in the shop to get you started. A sub $200 pair of binoculars is also a must as a beginner, to help you find your way about the sky.
