This is what will determine the purchase.

Hi Dave,

I'm not sure what a Ford Focus is but I've got a 1997 Hyundai Excel and an 8" Dob. It JUST fits in the boot of my car, with the base next to it, I'm glad I didn't end up getting a 10" Dob cause there is no way I could fit it into the car except on the backseat which meant the kids and my long suffering wife would have to stay at home

I've been really happy with it performance wise, it's pretty well blown my mind with what I can see with it

Bare in mind though I have dark skies (I live in a small town about 40 kms south of Hobart) and I haven't looked through any bigger telescopes yet
Might be a good thing actually, I don't know what I'm missing and wouldn't be able to transport one anyway

Kind regards

Ant
