Beautiful bro. I want to get a decent scope but there are so many and I don't know enough about them. Been hooked on space since I say Hailey's comet when I was s young kid. 43 now but still only gonna see that one once in a lifetime.

Get an apertura AD8 dobsonian or ad12 if you're looking for something bigger; they are cheap and easy to use. Using a sky chart or Stellarium app will help you locate objects. It ain't GoTo (motorized) so you'll have to point it by hand, but it will give you some unforgettable views of the planets, and under truly dark skies you can even make out spiral arms of some galaxies and some of the brighter nebula
