Woohooo, congratulations Brent!
I'm actually looking at doing something similar. I was going to go for a little table top Orion mini dob in a 4" for a grab 'n' go, but now I'm thinking a little scope as a decent finder as what you did might make more sense regarding multi using and getting a nice large finder to boot.
I think I now want to hold off on my purchase until I give this some serious thought.
I have a 10" dob too and I was wondering about the weight and balance issues?
