Hi Lee,
I've owned one of those 10" Saxon dobs for a few years now and have found them to be a good honest scope. I also invested in a right-angle finderscope..but you might have to change the (supplied) mounting plate over..be sure the tube is horizontal when you do and place a piece of A4 paper in the tube under the plate to catch any nasty bits...to help you use the finder, make a "star sight" from a piece of angled plastic..( I used a piece of ice cream tub )..about 2cm x 2cm and make a 1cm hole..glue this on top of the finder bracket and this should help you position the area/object in question...As for deepsky objects to be found..NGC 253 in Sculptor is always a treat but try Eta Carina with a 20mm EP and 2x barlow...simlpy stunning!!
Cheers!
