Congrats, a 10" dob IS a great way to go ..that was my first scope too, also due to the great advice I received on this forum. The only reason I dont have my 10" any more is that I've now got a 12" dob instead.

(Please do not assume that there's anything wrong with the 10" dob and that you should be planning on a 12" already ... in my case it was simply a sudden and completely unexpected purchase, an offer too good to refuse quite literally.)

The 10" is a magic unit - big enough for great viewing, small enough to still be conveniently portable. You will see so many things once those clouds part, you will come to love that scope so quickly.

Have fun!
