Thats the plan. I have always had an interest and I have seen that same spark when my son and I look at the stars just with the naked eye. He was supper excited when Venus and Saturn lined up a month or so ago..

the 130 is more portable -and you can easily buy one secondhand off gumtree, no doubts the 8" do will shoe more but its harder to move & store
