Welcome. It seems you have highish expectations. Hope your lad hasn't got all starry eyed looking at magazine photos and expects dad to deliver. You would be best to just sit back a couple weeks and read the forum. get a feel for it all. The absolute best idea is to wet the appetite with a good pair of bino's. You'll need them anyway so might as well get them first.(presuming you aint got any) If you thought lp free skys are cool wait till you see what a good pair of wide field bino's will do. As others have said best bang for buck is the 8 inch dob,but there are other options. Good luck.
