Re: [Utah-astronomy] Pick one and stick with it

See, now, Dave is going along with the spirit of the question. I tend to agree with him, although I may go for a 12.5" Newt if kept lightweight. You can get unobstructed off-axis views of reasonable aperture and longer f/ratio if you mask it; really such a scope would be two scopes in one.

I would go with my 10" Orion Dob. It is big enough to see galaxies and other deep space stuff. It does well at high power on planets and the Moon. It is light enough that I can handle it now and when I am older. It will fit in cars. I can sit while observing and I don't need a ladder.
