Peter, a 10” newt can be very versatile, and give excellent results with the planets if well collimated. The scale of the details on Jupiter for example really test the limits of the seeing too, so really make sure your collimation is perfect...it can really make all the difference.

As for DSOs...there’s no substitute for aperture, but 10” is still a good sized scope. If you don’t already, try visiting a dark site as that will really show you what your scope can do.
