Ok, currently I have an 8" dob and it's been great, but I understand now that the term "light bucket" was quite accurate.

I live in a one bedroom apartment in the city and a big dob is great I’m thinking if you have a permanent or semi permanent set up. There is also the few issues I am having trying to hook my dslr up to it... without cutting the dob in half...

So I was thinking of selling up the dob, and putting a few hundred extra into a new scope. I am thinking something that can track and is a bit more manageable for transport, with possibilities for a few snaps of the brighter things in the sky.


So suggestions? I know this forum is great for them, i have used it for my bino's, my scope and my arguments to convince the other half to buy both of the former lol

Just a quick follow up question, are dobs the only scopes that can handle 2" eye pieces?
