The collapsible 10 inch Dob is the one to go for. There is so much to see with my 10 inch that i could go for many years without upgrade. Being collapsible it will be easy to transport and store as well. Check Andrews website for prices on a 12 inch fixed dob as well. You will need a wagon to transport it to dark sky sites though.
