Newbie needing advice!

Hi there all,

I'm new here, was wondering if anyone from Brisbane might know where I can buy a good Dobson 8" telescope, as this seems to be the best telescope for beginners?

I would also like to possibly get into astro photography later on (way later!) but can't really spend a lot at the moment, max. $500. So perhaps I can get the scope first and worry about the rest later!

I was also wondering, what's the difference between the different brands, like Celestron and Skywatcher? My mind is so full of info on all the various options it's going to explode!

I'm so eager to get into this wonderful new hobby, have been meaning to do so for years! My birthday is coming up, and my husband may consider buying me something nice, that is if I do all the homework and send him a neat and tidy 'wish list'!
