the 8" Dob would be far the better astro scope - you could probably find one for less than 590. imo 590 is overpriced for a 130 on EQ.check the classifieds on this site for some options. The dob is simpler to use & yields a lot more light
the dob isn't really suitable for terrestrial though - what kind of things do you want to look at? binos are often beter for handheld earth views during the day
