Change of Plan...re. my 8'' Dob in France

Good choice - you won't regret it, I am sure.

Good man! You'll love it. Believe me, moving it as one is fairly easy. Even up steps, I just put small lengths of wood on each step to create smaller steps between the normal steps, if you know what I mean:)

Cracking choice of scope you will love it

Ordered the Skywatcher 250PX with Telrad in the end. I'll find a way of shifting it

I'll post an update when it turns up and I've got it assembled!

Good stuff, you will enjoy that scope immensely. I did, well, I still do .

I am about to buy one myself and posted my question: 8 inch or ten inch?  Nearly ever single response said go for the ten inch. Totally worth it, and not that much harder to move around. I cannot wait to order mine, it will be a Zhumell Z10, not available in Europe I don't think.  It gathers about 45% more light than the 8, so in your dark skies should really be worth it!
