Im looking to buy a telescope, its been 10 years since i last owned one so im basically a beginner again, very keen on a Skywatcher 8 inch Donsonian
Is there any known issues with these or would you more experienced stargazers agree that its a safe bet?? really want something that i can use with my kids and see the basics, planets, good views of moon etc etc but also something that will be good as we advance.

thanks
