Hi again Margaret. Yes you have replies working fine.
Good, we know which scope now. Do you have the battery operated motor drive on that scope and are you using it to keep the object in the field of view? This is one capability you won't get with a dobsonian mount.
Since you currently have a 114mm aperture (mirror diameter) scope, you probably want to step up to a 200mm aperture to get a much better viewing experience, unless the size of this scope (an 8") is too big to handle. I'm suggesting that changing from 114mm to 150mm is not a big step.
Let's see what people suggest about which makes you might buy. Given you may need it shipped to you, the charge for delivery may be important in the choice of best deal.
