Blitz,
Welcome!
What do you want to see?
moon, planets, DSO, birds, neighbors...
Do you want to do photography?
Do you want mobility?
Do you want "high tech hands free" or lower tech "roll up your sleeves and get dirty"?
How much money are you willing/able to spend?
Depending on what you want to see and how you want to see it will determine what is best for you...
There are many many choices...and many of them are great!
The trick is to match your interests and needs to the right tool...
I am happy with my 8 inch Dob...it fits my needs and skill level but I want a night time visual scope that my 2 children can't tear up easily but can enjoy too. I don't want batteries and I don't mind an occassional tinker...
Good Luck...it is truly an addictive hobby...
