Hi NagaX.

I am new to this forum as well. I was tempted by the Meade Scopes before I got a Dobsonian. A lot of thought has gone into their design.

Some of my favorites.....so far:
Globular Cluster - 47 Tucanae (NGC 104)
Nebula - Tarantula Nebula (NGC 2070)
Open Cluster - Jewel Box (NGC 4755) and the Pleiades (M45)

The list is endless and a star chart is a useful aid.

Stellarium is a free program that is very helpful in letting you know what is visible in the night sky.
