I have a 8.5" Newtonian on an alt-az pillar and I am waiting for a telescope maker friend to finish a 12" Dob for me. Hopefully it will be finished soon although he's making s-l-o-w progress on it so far.
Funnily enough unlike Lee, above, I'm the opposite to his point of view regarding mounts - I vastly prefer alt-az and Dob mounts to equatorial ones. I find eq mounts too fiddly and annoying to get along with but as I am primarily a visual observer, that doesn't matter as I don't really need the scope to be driven.
