I have the 10" itscope and love it,you made a great choice!
The views I get from Detroit Mi are wonderful. The DSC's work great in cold weather too.These apertures start to show you the colors of the stars and planets. The dbl. star catalog choices are awesome and to see the colors of these stars is a welcome change to the greenish colors of neb/galaxies. I align mine by racking in the focus w/ the 25mm until I see the out of focus rings and position the align. star in the center.I've also glued 2 sm. bubble levels from aco onto the base so I know if I'm on level ground, even if my warp factor is 0.5 it's still gets my object in the field of view at low power.Good luck with the new scope,if U have ?'s plz post them here and hope to hear how you like it, I may upgrade!

Hi. I have a 6" Schmidt-Newtonian and it shows star colors and quite a bit of planetary detail. The best telescope is the one you use.
