Mandi, before you race out and buy the Skywatcher dob, look at other brands too.

Andrews and Bintel sell the 'GSO' brand under the names of 'GS' at Andrews, and 'Bintel' at Bintel.
A very reputable scope from 2 reputable dealers.

Then there are the Skywatchers and Saxon's from MyAstroShop, and more Saxons at OzScopes.
Plus other Astronomy Shops.

Read through hundreds of posts in here about Dobsonian telescopes and you'll soon notice which brands are more popular. The skywatcher, Saxon or the GSO.
Not necessarily one better than the other, just different reviews.

Check all the prices too. They are all different.
