Thanks for the welcome guys. Ice, I think I found the site via google when looking for a local astro forum.

As for the scope, for what he has in mind and his budget, I think an 8 or 10" Dob would be the way to go, the price of an 8" leaving him with a bit to play with for other accessories and also pretty easily moved around. The other thing that hadn't occurred to me and likely him either is the positioning of the eyepiece for the various scopes, particularly when looking high in the sky, thanks 1ponders!
