I’ve owned a 10” dob which was used in Sydney under Bortle 8 skies and enjoyed great views of planets , moon, clusters etc.... a great scope !!
I currently have a Skywatcher 12” Goto dob which I use down at my dark site Bortle 3 to 4 skies and the views are unbelievable complimented with my range of Televue eye pieces
I can manage my 12” with a parcel trolley ok but it’s only being moved out of the garage and plonked down 8 metres away on a concrete driveway
I’m nearly 60 , weigh 70kgs and in good health
Sounds like a 10” Goto would be more than suitable depending on your site conditions( level or incline, type of ground, concrete, pavers , grass , pebbles etc.. ) distance from storage location to observing location) and storage facility
I don’t think you will see a huge difference between the 12” to the 10” in Bortle 8 skies
Agree with Raymo , I’d suggest the 10” Goto dob and consider your site conditions etc...
Thumbs up to the Skywatcher dobs , once levelled and 2 star aligned , their Goto and tracking are excellent
Hope the above helps
