Hi Guys
i am tossing up between 2 scopes and would like a bit of advice.

i am pretty much a n00b with this stuff, and am debating between 2 different scopes.

i'm looking at the 2 following scopes:

a 10" Dobsonian full tube or,
a NexStar 4SE goto.

i have used the dobsonian on a casual basis and really love the views it gives me of saturn and other planets. however, the size of a 10" is an issue as i drive a yaris hatchback.

the bonus also is the 10" is only $700. if i buy the dob i can use the remander in my budget for new eyepieces

the nextstar goto is smaller than the dob, which actually concerns me as i love the clarity of the dob, but the goto function interests me greatly as someone new to the hobby. the downside is it is $200 more than the dob.

i will use the scope to start off with to view planets and move onto deep space objects from there..

thanks for your help guys
