Hi Jon.
Ready to go is a broad statement.
A Dobsonian is ready to go, but you need to find the objects in the sky.
One of the hardest parts of Astronomy is finding stuff. But it can also be the most exciting and rewarding part when you actually find what you were looking for.
If you want a computer-based scope that finds objects for you you'll need to raise your $500 starting point by quite a bit.
The scopes that find stuff for you are called Go-To, because they 'go to' objects.
But a Dobsonian is a great starting point in this hobby. Bintel in Sydney and Andrews Communications in Sydney both sell the GSO brand Dobsonians as a full pack.
Andrews are slightly cheaper.
