Nice topic.
I have a similar scope (ED110), which is my travel scope for dark sites in South Africa or Australia. At home I use it rarely, but my tabletop 80mm I use more often and sometimes my 40cm Dobson. The latter is really nice for deepskies but the light pollution here spoils a lot. Moreover, clear skies are rather rare, as on many cloudless nights the air is too hazy or in summer nights are extremely short due to the high latitude (52º).
