Hi all,
Thank you very much for the insightful advice.
You have convinced me a non-goto Dob is the way to go, and this is of course well within budget. I do get to learn the sky and I suppose one of the points of a hobby is to develop new skills. The resale value is also appealing for when the inevitable time to upgrade comes.
So I think I'll go for an 8 inch Dob, plus the other recommendations in a post on beginner starter packs.
Thanks again!
