What size Dobsonian should I get?

If size and money are not a concern, 8″ is a good starting point. 12″ is still not to big to handle for most people. 16″ would be big but not enormous. Then we get into 20″ to 30″ which will show you more if you have the money to buy it, a place to keep it and the will to use it.
