Well I finally decided & went with an 8" skywatcher collapsible dob.
I got my first clear night last night & was blown away.
I had some great close up views of the moon, saw venus, mars, jupiter & 4 moons (although I thought i saw more than 4) & a globular cluster. Just to name a few.
Saturn is next on the list, I just couldnt quite make it till 2am I think the mozzies are immune to aeroguard at my place.
I am definately even more hooked now & going to find some less light polluted areas to get some clearer views.
