Hi All,

I know there has been multiple post in regards to the 8" vs 10" and have read that the 10" is better due to aperture so apologies if this has been asked over and over but is there much difference in the two if i will be mainly using this in a city or if the difference is mainly with very dark skies (outside of city)? Would the 10" also have more light pollution seeing as it has a larger aperture?

I live north of Sydney City and have a private rooftop terrace where my telescope will live and mainly be used however i will take it out to places with less light pollution every now and then.

The difference between the 8" and 10" sky watcher (full tube) is $200 which I'm happy to pay if it will make that much difference however if i get the 10" i wont be getting any accessories, etc. but if the 8" is suitable then I'm willing to get a barlow lens, filters, etc. straight away.

Also i might add that this will be my first telescope so I'm very new to all this.

Any help here is greatly appreciated and thank you for your time.

Cheers,

Justin
