My advice ( don’t take it personally) but ditch the cheap retail reflector and buy a Bintel 150mm f5 or f6 Newtonian reflector , they are only $300 and will last you a lifetime. They come with a great 2” focuser and can be upgraded to dual speed later
I use my Bintel 150mm f6 when I’m in Sydney and can image everything in the universe ( check the beginners astrophotography section )
That way you have more choice in imaging anything now and in the future
By all means buy your refractor but they are pricey buggers in compared to the newt
Cheers
