Thanks dave I have been reading through a few of the articles including the two part "how to select your first telescope" article and read a few of the reviews of some scopes. Based on peoples replies to threads such as mine i landed on a dobsonian however since realizing the prices of scopes in the US i have opened up my options now to some computerized models that are not as massive as a dob.
Im heading the advice of the mantra in the above mentioned article "the best scope is the one that allows you to see the most objects and the scope that you see the most objects with is the one you will use the most."
cheers
