Should I change scopes? Need help...

Hi everyone,

For about a year now I have owned a 10" Dobsonian telescope bought from Bintel in Sydney. There is nothing wrong with the scope, it is a superb scope, but it is my circumstances that are the problem. I often find that I don't get much time for amateur astronomy, and when I do I have a difficult setup in a confined urban environment with significant light pollution.

As a solution I've been considering selling the scope + some of the accessories and using the money to purchase a smaller, simpler, more manageable computerised Go-To telescope, such as the Celestron Nexstar 114 SLT reflector.

Could anyone provide their opinion on this kind of change? Do people often make these changes to smaller telescopes?

Thanks for your help!
