Hi Lsanim,
Welcome to IceinSpace.

First scope?
Should be something you can afford.
Yet, quality optics.
Easy to use, set up, etc..
That will best deliver what you want.
Do you want to use it primarily from home, or will you be transporting it to Dark Sites (by car, etc.)
Do you want integrated goto?
Set your budget.
Work out what you can easily handle/manoeuvre.

Research, and test a few out at observing sessions near you (see star parties thread)

Then buy the biggest Dobsonian you can afford.

Welcome to a wonderful hobby, and a web site of good people who want to help you achieve.
