Andrews is running their 10% off sale on both the Skywatcher and GSO dobs for the rest of this week. A good time to buy. I have had 10", 12", and 16" GSO dobs and they are good quality scopes, and the Alt bearing brakes are first class. Having looked through many dobs over the years I still believe the GSO mirrors are higher quality than the Skywatcher ones. However, GSO do not make Goto versions of their dobs, and I don't understand why. Given the 10% off sale I would be buying the Skywatcher 10" goto dob, it is heavier than the push to version but it is easier to use and you don't need to worry about setting circles and other things, like Nexus wifi and encoders added to the GSO to see where the scope is pointed.
