Hi Matianak..
Celestron or Meade both make very good Maksutov-Cassegrain type scopes. But first you need to know what you want to look at.. If its stars then no matter what size or type you buy,they will all be little flat discs with no apparent features as they are just too far away.. you will just see more of them with a larger scope..
Nebula,planets,comets,orbiting satellites inc. the moon will be greatly enhanced with the larger scopes.
The less there is inside a scope the better. mirrors and correctives for day and earth viewing all cut down light transmission and create distortion,hence all astronomy ones are inverted.
Do you need to use one in the daytime?
Of course other things to consider are portablity and price...
If its just astronomical use then I would recommend a more conventional type scope with a lager objecive lens around the same price.Hopefully the lady in the shop didn't show you wonderful pictures that you will only get on specialized equipment and tell you "you too will see...." good selling trick..
All in all this would give you a good start into the night sky..but you may also grow out of it quite quickly depending on your interest...
If you need day viewing also,then you won't be displeased with these optics
Don't know if that helps any!
