Hi Derik,
I have the 10" Skywatcher Dob...... and love it!!!!!! It does take up a bit of room but makes for a good conversation starter!!!! Works well with the planets, moon but loves the deep sky objects.
I got the full tube assembely due to having young kids. (heard a story of a guy having a collapsable dob and taking it to a viewing night, kids, choccy cake and a collapsable dob dont mix.!!)
Make sure you have a big enough car when traveling. The 10" just fits in to my vt commodore boot. nothing else will fit though.
set up a piece of cake. took a half hour but thats taking my time.
I would suggest you get a dual focuser or fine focuser. Found its hard to focus with a 10mm EP in a 2X Barrlow lens.
Happy Viewing
(or buying!!!)
Benno
P.S
