You could do a lot worse than that Skywather 8" for your first scope. They're very easy to get hang of and easy enough to add a EQ or GOto mount down the track if you did decide to do imaging.
For me personally this would be reason to buy full tube rather than collapsible for first scope. If your pretty certain however you wont try get collapsible cheap.
And also avoid looking at peoples images on this site:-) So many great images pop up here its hard not to get the imaging bug. Didnt think id be interested either when i bought the SW880 6 months ago but thats changed. All i need now is the EQ6 go to and a DSLR and a guide scope and a few filters and a winning lotto ticket and im set.
