Hi there, we (me and my 12yo son) have a 10in Dobsonian. We get it out a bit, but its heavy and awkward so maybe not as often as we should. Once we have it out we can see cool stuff like Jupiter and it's moons but we would really like to be able to see it a bit clearer, see more of the colour and lines in its atmosphere.

1. Has anyone mounted some permanent so you can just take the OTA outside and plonk it on the mount. The normal dob stand isnt that awesome on uneven grass.

2. What is a good set of eye pieces for this sized scope? I have a 9 20 and 25.

3. What else would help us make the most of this scope? Maybe a barlow? A solar filter? anything else?

Appreciate any thoughts!
