I have only recently gotten into astronomy and after much research my fist scope is a Skywatcher 10 inch collapsible dobsonian telescope.
I bought it second hand and it is Great! I live in a suburban area with a lot of light pollution and I am amazed at what I can see. I have also taken it to a darker sky area and it was mind blowing! It is easily transported. The tube collapses to easily fit in the boot or across the back seat of my sedan and the Dob base sits nicely in the front passenger seat.
I don’t have a lot of experience with other scopes but I have been really happy with this scope. I modified the base to include a Lazy Susan bearing and built a stand to raise the height of the scope (I’m over 6 feet tall) and also use a collapsible trolley to easily manoeuvre it on its stand all in one piece.
I hope that helps.
