10 inch is quite a sizable aperture and I'm amazed again and again at what I can see with it. At a site with close to m6 stars I could see stars down to m15 without trying too hard. I've seen the horsehead as a notch in IC434 and galaxies to >500 Mly.
Mirror is freshly cleaned for sale.
This scope collapses down nicely and fits in most if not all cars.
