By next weekend, I'll be the proud owner of a brand spanking new SkyWatcher 10" Collapsible purchased locally from Vancouver Telescope. If the weather ever clears out here on the Wet Coast, I'll let you know how it performs.
From what I understand, the 10" will be soon be on back order, with a 90 day wait. If you're thinking of buying one, and your dealer has one in stock, get it now.
