I'm not suggesting the 10" is the must-have scope for Mischa - but just want to make sure that the problems of the current scope, and expectations of a newer, smaller scope, are fully known.
I agree the 10" with base is quite a big scope for a small person - certainly not grab and go. But the dob base is about as easy as you can get - so maybe a 6" dob might be better.
Do you want an EQ or Alt-Az mount? Does it have to be on a tripod? Do you plan to use it for terrestrial viewing too?
