Congratulations on a new scope and a great post. You are not going to believe the difference between your binos and the 10" aperature on all the objects you're used to viewing. My neighbor got a Z10 a few months ago after using a 3" (80mm) Meade refractor for a year. It was fun to watch him compare the two and I was very impressed with the views in the Z. What I like to do is use my binoculars along-side my dob. I scan for fuzzies with the binos then see what it looks like in the scope. You're in for a lot of fun and brand new views!
