I would have absolutely loved to go, but it looks like prior commitments (watching over sibling + house-sitting for several weeks) makes that impossible. Next time though!

Well, now that everyone who has given an opinion (including the retailer) has suggested the 8", I'd be silly to ignore the advice. An 8" aperture it is then! I swear I heard my wallet make a sigh of relief

Start saving and go for the EQ6 it is a far better mount

I've been thinking about that too, but the retailer also mentioned that the EQ6 may not be enough for a 10" if I go down that path.
Anyway: so you suggest that along with the 8" Dob, I also order a collimating tool such as
this (I'll leave laser for another day). Are Bob's knobs recommended? Any other accessory recommendations?
I think once this is confirmed, I'll go ahead and order.
Thanks.
