Right. To me, a 10" scope like an Orion is kind of the sweet spot, and mixed in with some 8's,
would make up the "meat and potatoes" of a loaner program. Other scopes too, but something easy
to set up and use for beginners, but still offering rewarding views. There is a lot to see with
scopes in that range....
