Just thinking about where the HEQ5 will have the focuser oriented has my neck in spasms.

Den, go with a Dobsonian and if possible 12" or larger if you want to see galaxies.......
I agree I had not thought of ep position ...I recall my delight with my 12 inch which was the first time I had used a dob both at the ease and comfort really.
And it was easy to set up☺ open the door and roll it onto the deck.
And the dances I have had with that scope...you will get your moneys worth out of a twelve...what a 16 cost☺
