A lot of decisions..

Hi, I am new to this forum so please as usual go easy!

I've started staring at the night skys with my dad's binocs on a tripod some 30 odd years ago and its time I got back into it.

Like so many I am unsure which way to go first for a scope - one of my main issues is storage when not in use. What I would like is a fully collapsible dob similar to the Obsession 15" UC but say in a 10" size that is correspondingly priced but alas it seems no one makes such a instrument. I think i would even have trouble storing a Meade Lightbridge, but a Obsession 15" would be possible if it was affordable for me.

So to kick off I am considering something portable and packable like a Meade 125EX. How do owners of the 125 find them? Should I look at the Blackdiamond 127mm with a suitable mount instead - then perhaps I could upgrade to a 8" later - what mount would be recommended?

Thanks in advance.

Tim
