Interested in all aspects really.

Have a question. I currently have a 4.5 inch Newtonian. Is it worth upgrading to say an 8 inch on a Dobsonian mount? When you do mainly suburban observing, does this extra aperture make a difference? Any advice would be appreciated.

:welcome: Drew, certainly would - upgrade to the size your budget can handle as well as portability to get to dark sky sights.
