I'd be grateful for your opinions on whether I'm best upgrading my scope or selling it for a new setup!
I have a Skywatcher 200P Dobsonian (the 1200 tube) but:
I'd really like it to be more rigid, so it doesn’t wobble as much at the slightest touch
I'd like a finer focuser so I can get a sharper image
I'd like the scope to keep the object where I put it, rather than have it drift outside the field of view and having to keep nudging it back in - I feel like I spend more time doing this than observing!
I can probably do without a GOTO if it helps keep the cost down, but the option might be nice - it's fun finding objects but I have a narrow view of the sky between the house and trees and so it's not long before some objects have set!
I might like to put my dslr on and take a photo or few but it would only be a dabble at the moment - I mainly want to see the sky with my own eyes!
