Hi All,

I am new here and this is my first post.
I've been visiting this forum for many months now.

I have a question about buying a telescope (dobsonian).
Are older dobsonian telescopes as good as the new ones?
I've been watching the fleebay and gumtree for used telescopes.
Some are around 10 years old (skywatcher, celestron, meade etc)
They look very similar to the new ones.

My plan is to get 8" - 12" dobsonian.
I only want to use it on my backyard for occasional stargazing.
I've seen the view on 8", 10" and 12" (new ones).

Thank you.
