Dave,
Welcome, like you I am new.
However, I agree with Brendan, for visual use go a 8" or 10" dob.
I bought a Skywatcher 10" truss dob as my 1st scope & the views through it are much, much better than I expected for a relatively simple & inexpensive scope. In my opinion, bang for buck, there is no better choice. Simple to use, set-up & transport.
Spend the money saved on quality EP's, collimator & better finders etc.
Regards,
Matt
