90mm refractor or 6" dob as Grab and go
I've got to decide between a 90mm refractor or a 6" dob as a grab & go companion to my XT10.
The specific models are both from Skywatcher.
Skywatcher 90mm Evostar F/10 refractor on Alt-Az mount.
Skywatcher 6" Dobsonion F/7.8
I need something I can grab and take outside without much fuss for a quick viewing session of an hour or two. It will strictly be used for visual and I enjoy observing all objects so something that will do a good job on planets and the bright DSO's will be a plus.
I haven't used refractors before (aside from a department store one as a kid, which I think put me off of refractors for life). I can't afford a APO and am limited to the brands available over here.
Anyone that can give me some feedback/input would be welcome.
