Ok well I've pretty much decided on the 10" GSO dob from Andrews, hopefully ordering it before the end of the week. I called and they have the 10" in two prices; $649 and $749 with two different grades for the mirror (BK-7 and Suprax I take it?). I decided I'd go the 10" over the 8" to try and keep the aperture bug at bay hopefully for a little while (until the tracking bug sets in).
Now I just need to decide on some accessories and I'm done. Already have some star charts, just unsure what else to get (I've been reading but theres no real definitive list of items newbies must have). Maybe just a Chesire and a barlow perhaps.
The only thing that has me scared is centre spotting the beast. I've read a few articles on it linked from the forums but it still scares me. How did everyone else with an Andrews dob go with this? Was it as scary as I'm making it out to be.
Thanks all for the advice.
