    Thanks everyone, that makes a lot of sense, I was a bit worried i was wasting mny time buying a 10" dob. Mr niall, are you able the view with the 15 x 70 binoculars by hand? I was thinking of getting the same pair but was worried i'd need a tripod because of the wobble.

    The bit I'm missing is if most people use a low magnification, then why bother buying powerful scopes, if your only going to use the same magnification as that of a smaller scopes. I know you get a lot more light through, but at low magnification, does the extra light really make that much difference?

    I read a comment made on here the other day about the maximum magnification you can realistically use in UK skies (250x apparently). Therefore I was wondering what everyone else thinks this is, especially for you guys with 16" plus, apertures. I'm still fairly new to this game (only being observing for about 7 months), and only have a 5" Newt at the moment (but am about to replace with a 10" Dob) so I don't get any higher than 159x (6.3 mm).
