I agree with Malcolm - 10-12" dob would be perfect (more so the 12 if you're not going to transport it a lot by car). It is also worth being aware (if you haven't looked through telescopes at stars) that even with a large telescope that things won't look as they do in astro-images. Deep sky objects will appear in shades of grey, not colour (although you will see coloured stars and when observing planets. If you bear this in mind, a 12" will blow your mind.
