Re: Dobsonian Aperature Question

Jon,
Currently I own a small refractor, so either choice will be a huge jump for
me. I would like to think that the size would not be that large of a factor
for me, but perhaps I am wrong? If you had to get the two scopes again,
would the 12.5" be worth the higher price compared to the 10"?
