Sounds like you're really on a tight budget, Jarvis. I'd say get the 200mm (8") GSO Dob from Andrews for $399 or if that is too much then the 150mm (6") Dob for $299. I know I said it before, but I'll say it again: These are amazing value for the money! They would have been considered to be BIG telescopes only 10 years ago, and despite some people owning scopes with apertures of 250mm, 300mm or more, the smaller BIG scopes can show you a lot.

Whatever you get, you will want to get a good comprehensive set of eyepieces with it. Let us know if/when you've decided on a scope, and what options the dealer offers.
