Hi Rob,
Have a look in the "Stickies" posted at the top of this forum on selecting a scope.
Seek out your nearest astro group and make yourself known. Check out other amateurs scopes and what they use them for. Give a lot of thought as to what expectations you have and what you want to get into.
Be aware that ounce hooked astronomy can become quite an obsession, at least thats what my wife says and that your expectations will likely change over time.
Cannot stress enough that good optics will last a lifetime, buying good quality ounce is cheaper in the long run than updating to better quality gear latter.
Oh, don't jump in to purchasing a scope etc to quickly. Far wiser to thoroughly research the topic first.
Just some thoughts.
Welcome to IIS.
Regards
Trevor
