I tend to agree with the other guys. If the majority of your astronomy is going to be visual, then a Dobsonian is the cheapest and simplest telescope. The largest one you can comfortably manage. If you have to transport it frequently, then anything over 10" might be a burden. If imaging is going to be your main interest, then an ED80 or similar refractor on a HEQ5 or EQ6 mount is a good start. Trying before you buy at an astronomy club is always good. Nothing like hands-on.
