Rusty, Orion is a good brand in general. The Dobsonian design is a bit unwieldy for some people so be advised on that bit. The GOTO computer is nice to have but you will need to align the scope with a reference point such as Polaris in order for it to be useful. Overall that Dob is probably good enough for visual observing but you can probably find a used one at a much lower price. my .02
