SkyWatcher Black Diamond 10" Collapsible Dobsonian Telescope

hi Ryan, as anyone would say aperture is key and if you can afford the extra 2inchs then by all means do it. you're not going to lose anything but ALOT more light to gain. (the 10" has 1.5 times the light gathering then the 8", using redimentry formula(10^/8^ 100/64=1.5625))
go with the 10", it's sad a lot of shops are closing thou.
