Im a firm beliver of the 10" dob, its brilliant, portable, and most of all versitile! Mount it on a eq6, or run it on the dob base, use it for astro photography, or just visual, a nice fast scope wide fields or barlow it up and go for narrow band. I think its the strongest of all beginner scopes at a reasonable price to boot.
Shopping list though i would do in a different way.
1st round
get your collminator a combination of both laser and cheshire (lash out in this dept its well worth it.)
2x barlow and maybe a 32mm ep this will give you a good range of magnifications and wide field views.
Astronomy 2009, and download one of the free atlas's from the beginners section in the sticky posts and print on A3.
so all up this should set you back 230- 250 (don't get high end barlows and eps just yet like rmcpb said, you need to learn what your neich is before you lash out.
If you want to see my journey so far just have a quick looksee though some recent posts in the beginners sections. youll see the photos there.
