Hi Peter,

A premium 14" to 16" Newtonian will give superior planetary views to your 10" Skywatcher, when thermal and seeing conditions are favourable.

With a mass produced 14" to 14" dob the optical quality will vary. One of the guys who goes to the Pony Club, has or had, a 14" Skywatcher that give exceptional lunar planetary views. Unfortunately most mass produced mirrors won't be at that level.

Cheers
John B
