Hi George,
I have mentioned clubs / societies before, and all the I can add to the great advise from the others posts is :-
Collapsible or Truss type - easy to transport ect.
Solid Tube - can be mounted on an equatorial goto type mount.
For me first was a 10" dobsonian (solid) on a dobsonian mount and some good quality eye pieces,
next EQ6 Pro mount or heaver duty equatorial mount so It can take future loads eg- cameras ect,
and when I'm ready for Astrophotography.
Hopefully I was able to help you.
Regards
Joe
