Geoff
Your advice been really helpfull
I'm on the edge of buying a telescope but really do not want to rush it
I have found a few that seem appropriate
1 on Ice in space-

the one you sent me skywatcher Terrestrial-

Im really keen on the one on IIS since, it seems less money than other 8 inch dobs
And my conditions are
: I live in a neighbourhood, an hour drive to the city approx
: I know that everytime i see the stars or full moon, i want to get a telescope out
:I may not buy a new lense or such upgrade for a while
: Im not a real fan of standing there and alligning for a long period
: If my family are going some where (maybe a dark sky as you suggested) i would surely take my telescope
Any suggestions Geoff please do not hesitate to tell
Thankyou so much
Brent
