The Skywatcher 250px is a great scope for the money. There are more expensive lighter better quality scopes, but I have never compared them. Easy to use, quick set up, not too bulky or heavy. DSO"s will be brighter and easier to spot.

Good choice. 10” gives enough grunt for DSO and is reasonably portable. I’ve got the flex tube collapsible version.

That said. They are big scopes so storage can be an issue.

I had a Skywatcher 250px - it is a great scope!!  I think the best money I've spent on astro has been that scope.

I would also consider the Bresser 10" dob with the large diameter alt bearings and tube rings.  I've never seen one in person, but they look the job.  The large diameter bearings on my 15" really aid smooth movement and balance - this really positively impacts the viewing experience at the EP.

Best of luck!
