Strangely enough the most crucial limiting factor you will face is your skill level. A decent 4.5" reflector will show an experienced observer an awful lot.

A 12" may not show a newbie all that much. fact is that whatever you start with, if you stay interested is probably not what you will end up with.

If i may suggest... if there is a club near you get acquainted with them, look through some scopes and then decide what to get.

I started with a 4.5 and now am happy with an 8". Everyone finds their own comfort zone.
