Well, I have just completed my first astronomy course down at the local
university and have been tinkering with StarryNight on my computer for
about the last 6 months and I have decided that binoculars are just not
  adequate any more. From the little bit of research I have done on
telescopes, I have come to the conclusion that I should definitely go
with a Newtonian. But where to start? What type of mount, what
manufacturer, etc.....? I guess I am just hoping some of the more
experienced amateur astronomers will be able to put up some pro's and
cons and kinda point me in the right direction.
