Picked up for the family last year a Saxon 8" reflector on a Dobsonian mount.
Loving the new light bucket! Very glad I went with the 8" aperture instead of spending the money on the fancier mounted but smaller 6" on an Equatorial mount.
Will eventually pick up a motorised GoTo pack for the Dobsonian base, but for now doing ok adjusting by hand as I improve my constellations knowledge and practice hopping around the sky.
The finder scope on the Dobby, once dialed in is very accurate as well. Actually, it was initially a shock that the view through the finder scope was better than the view through my old original Tasco 50mm refractor. Although in all fairness that old thing is easily 30 years old.
