I'll offer the same old advice that I almost always offer when this question comes up.

Before you spend any of your money on a scope (of any description), run don't walk to join an Astro Club and attend a viewing night (or two).

This will give you a chance to see some gear "in the field" and also help set your expectations as to what you can and can not see.

There are several clubs in and around Sydney (depending on where you live). Some of them even offer "loaner" scopes to beginners so that you can try one before you buy.

Cheers and Clear Dark Skies to You!
