Stop the silliness people!
Petra, for little over 10% of your budget, you could get an 8" Dob. They are very easy to use and move around (also have reasonable cooldown time as opposed to the monster dobs our fellow iceinspacians are recommending). You cannot beat an 8" Dob for value and ease of use, and it is a great way to get more than a taste of what the heavens have to offer. If you like what you see (which you will
), you could sell the dob and move onto getting your dream scope.
