Anyhow, now my question is for a Skywatcher retractable, are they any good, and do you need a shroud to get a "better image" out of them?
Plus is $800 for a Skywatcher retractable 10" a good price?

Thanks

all the reviews i have read of them have been great

York Optical have it for $1125, and Andrews have it for $900, and Andrews are usually about as cheap as you can get.

Cloudynights has some good reviews on them, including the 10 inch, and yes, from your backyard, a shroud would be preferable.
