Hi Neo!

as the guys have said, go the highest diameter you can afford, carry and transport.

I have a 10" dob and have just bought a dob driver, so it is now computerized. So i have tracking and "goto". Very easy to install for me and enjoyed the project.

I also believe i will get a heavy duty EQ mount down the track.

So yes, it is a very versatile telescope.

The eyepieces will be fine to start with, but the 6.5mm if you get that will be very vard to look thru with glasses. The vixen range look very promising as they have lovely eye relief and if you are looking at higher power eyepieces (ie <12mm), i would recommend them
