While not the owner of a 10 inch Dob I do have an 8 and 12.5...
The finder is fine...however, I prefer the Telrad...I find it easier to find things looking through the Telrad window at 1X...I don't get lost or disoriented and this makes things easier for me to find...I found that soon after I got the Telrad, I stopped using the finder scope at all and removed it from my scope...
R&P focuser works fine and they have been used successfully by lots of people for a long time...but, the crayford style is nicer (smoother) in the way it focuses...they both work fine...think of the difference between models of cars...both are transportation a Berlina works fine but a Statesman has a more luxious ride...it is not needed but nice to have if you can get it...
BD outlined "flocking paper"...
Where in Sydney are you?
Cheers!
