Another question: I was looking at collimation; and it looks as though you need a laser collimator for it to be a one man job with a 10". Is this correct? If so, I will get one of those too.
Yes CM, a 10" Dob is the way. It can be a bit heavy and bulky, but views are better than the 8", so worth the extra trouble.
The laser collimater is good also - I am a bad collimater, but aim to perfect that this year, and collimate each session instead of once a year.
