Re: Which one of these would you suggest Frank?

It's hard to say which one I'd recommend...depends on your budget and needs.
If what you want is to see the craters on the moon a standard pair of Binoculars will suffice.
But it's been my personal experience that bigger is almost always better when it comes to star-gazing.
Personally I would go for an 11inch, no smaller, if the price can suit your budget.
I say that only because I had one and liked it very much but wanted an even bigger lens when I had it.
If I had the spare coins I'd go for a 14inch.
That's as big a telescope as I would want to handle and still be able to move it around without ending up in traction!
But even an 8 inch can open the skies to some wonderful viewing!
