Hi Orestis.
The 130 is on "wobbletronic" eq2 mount. I have used it to piggyback my camera for some widefield shots and used it to webcam some lunar shots. Before i got the dob I had very little success with it, found M42, Omega Cent, Eta Car, Jupiter and Saturn and not much else. And that was in 18 months of trying!
Then I had an 8" dob for 6 months used it to het about 70 Messiers before getting the 12" and some premium EPs and now up to over 400 NGC objects.
Decent dobs beat small eq mounted scopes everytime IMHO.
Personally, upgrade as fast as you can, if you can't afford and 10", get a 6 or 8" dob. For just plain visual use, a decent dob can't be beat.
Frankly, I don't know why these scopes on EQ mounts are sold as beginners kit, all they do is put people off, hard to use, hard to setup, less aperture per $.
