Just looking at the specifications for the Sky Watcher 200mm dobsonian, solid tube (SW680)...

Focal length is 1200mm. Is that decent? Some other 8" telescopes have it more? Would more be any better?

Eyepieces listed are: S20, S10(31.7mm). What the hell does this mean? And are these decent eyepiece sizes to start off with?

Focal ratio is "f/6". I have no idea what this means?

Finderscope is 9 x 50. What?

Barrel diameter is 50mm/31.7mm. What?

Also, would this dobsonian telescope easily connect to an equatorial mount if I buy one later?

Yes, I'm definately a beginner Any help guys?
