*MistrBagr has me excited about this FirstLight Refractor in 80mm or 102mm

Of course, the larger aperture will reveal more. It's the mount that I wonder about, not being familiar with it. Whichever scope you decide on, be sure to get a set of vibration suppression pads for the mount to dampen the shakes. Celestron makes an excellent set.

Good luck.
