om...
Ok, I am shopping for a new telescope, one possibility is the 10''
Orion dobsonian reflector, my budget is 1,000.

But now I see at astronomics.com a scope normally costing 2400 on sale
for 1200, i would stretch the budget if you guys think this particular
scope is a big improvement on the Orion 10'' dob, i am particulary
interested in deep sky


Celestron - C8S-GT Advanced Series 8" f/10 computerized go-to
Schmidt-Cassegrain

That is the scope, this is the web address

Thanks again for your help

Wonderful deal, but if you are a visual observer (that is, you are not an
astrophotographer) then the best deep sky performance will come from the
larger (and faster) aperture dob. You said you were particularly interested
in deep sky, and that's what I'm recommending.
I own a C-8 and have owned a 10" newt of similar performance to the Orion.
No question, the newt (dob) blows the C-8 out of the parking lot visually.
If you were particularly interested in planetary observing or deep sky
astrophotography, I'd have recommended the C-8. Visually, it's weak on deep
sky compared to the 10".

Regards,
Etok
