Hey guys... so ive only had my skywatcher 6" dob for a couple of weeks and im having fun so far. Finding it a little time consuming to hunt down things i want to look for manually and its a little overwhelming and frustrating really.

I need advice from u guys here... im thinking of upgrading already to a skywatcher GOTO dob... the flex tube collapsible ones. I like the idea of being able to find things a lot faster and using more time to actually enjoy looking at objects instead of just trying to find them. I almost got one of those to begin with but thought the idea of hunting things down sounded fun... and it kind of is and isnt..I also dont want to seem like im just giving up too easy in trying to locate things but i already feel like that i would just rather spend more time looking instead of finding.

Also if i was to upgrade what size should i upgrade to? would 8" be enough? I really like the dobs... suits me that u just plonk it on the ground and look but are there other scopes i should be looking at?
I will probably end up going out of town eventually for some dark viewing but for the most part its going to be back yard for me with a little light pollution but i still seem to get some pretty good views.

So thoughts?
