EDIT: while I was writing this you answered my question! Thanks, that's definitely something I'll consider. At $200 it's a fairly risk-free option too . |
Apologies for assuming you were a 'he'
As for the tabletop Dobsonian as Robert states you will see everything from galaxies to nebulae to glob clusters. I have done 70% of the Messier list with it (you can actually do all targets on this list with binocs) but the 5" makes things so much brighter.
The 5" fueled my interest for observation and gave me aperture fever, so watch out!
