What scope next?
I have an 8 inch dobsonian which I have had for about a month now. I live in suburbia and its not too badly lit up here just the clouds have been more present lately. I was looking at the next step down the road, should it be a 6 inch achromatic refractor , a c8 or a 14 inch dobsonian. Or maybe just get a 90mm refractor for a quick go sometimes as I dont have much time with kids and all. Its more for deep space viewing 90% of the time.
I have done hours of research and I like the sounds of the refractor big or small and maybe both, but if the 14 inch will go deeper then we shall go the way of the reflectors.
Another question is how big does a dobsonian have to be to start using a step or ladder to view because I cant see myself using a step, I just want mount and tube and DSO hunting. Cheers guys thanks.
