Bigger is better...

... at least when it comes to telescopes.

I want a bigger telescope. Badly.  The little Orion scope I have now isn't bad - I can pick out stars I can't see with the naked eye, I've seen (sort of) Venus and Jupiter - enough to pick out the Galilean moons.

But they're still dots. Big dots, mind, but still dots.

I really want to see detail.

... I also want to get somewhere I can *see* these things, away from lights, apartments and garages blocking things, etc.

Anyone have winning lottery numbers? :)
