Hey Jeeps,

If you are not considering astrophotography, dobs give the biggest bang for your buck.

I too started with a poor alt-az mount, ditching it for a photo tripod for my 2" refractor. I learnt an aweful lot with this set up in the nine or ten years before I got my C5, which then again, I mainly use in alt-az.

I digress. Mate, you will have no problem with a dob coming from a poor alt-az. It will actually proove itself a breeze.
