Sky-Watcher Heritage 150P
Six inches of 'oh wow' that fits on a camping table.
around $300
A 150mm Dobsonian that collapses down, sits on a table, and shows you Saturn's rings like it's no big deal. Ask ten astronomers what first scope to buy and half will say this one. The other half are just being contrarian.
