Another vote for a dob.. The biggest dob you can afford and handle.. For a start in astronomy, nothing says "wow" like a really large mirror for catching light.. And really large mirrors dont come cheap, unless they are a Newtonian on a Dob mount.. Despite my being an imager, I still very much enjoy any opportunity I get to observe the night sky with a 10 ~ 16" dobsonian... Its just magnificent.
