Is it difficult to find objects with say an 8 to 10 inch Dobsonian

Good question .. You would be aware with your little reflector that finding things isn't that easy .. some of that is the small scope and average mount it probably sits on .. the rest is just a time thing ..finding your way around the night sky is a great experiance and does take some getting used to .. Lots of great charts and info archived her to search through to help you out .. when you do grab a bigger scope .. and if its a dob you decide on .. I'd recomend one of these

The dobs you are looking at are well mounted and easy to point around the sky.. the telrad helps you understand were you are pointing the scope in relation to any star charts /easy find objects / or returning to a given referance point.
welcome and enjoy your stay
