Nice tips! About your questions. First one is the fov, I would like to combine sessions with the short refractor and wide eyepieces, like the Celestron Omni 32, lunar/planet sessions with barlow and planetary eyepieces, and EAA sessions to see small dsos with the camera. This is my plan but is not the final word, I’m open to changes. I maybe will buy a monochrome camera like the asi 120 mm, that can be used in the future on a guide scope. The mount is where I have more dudes, maybe it’s better to invest on a better mount but the prices escalates quickly.

Hi, I'm into amateur astronomy since 2 years ago. I have a beginner telescope, a Skywatcher 70/700 With the simple AZ mount that comes with it, and two eyepieces 10mm and 25mm. I have to say that this telescope gave me a lot of hours of fun, I mostly observe from my living room or balcony of an city apartment. I have Bortle 5 sky. I mostly observe moon, planets and some bright DSOs. I have a plan to slowly upgrade to a portable and light setup for EAA, because I have a country house with bortle 3 sky. I was thinking on this path: 1- Buy a goto mount (something like the cheap W AZ GTi, ioptron cube pro or smart eq pro...), it will allow me to chase objects. 2- Buy a dedicated camera (ZWO ASI120, ASI224 or similar) to start doing some kind of EAA At this point, I plan to start with the telescope I have now to start learning the basics (alignment, capture, etc..) 3- Buy an upgrade telescope. This is the point I have the big problem. Maybe I will start with a SW 72ED, because I can do some planetary with a barlow, and I can use a 0,5 focal reducer to do DSO hunting. 4- Asiair Pro. The final step to have a light portable setup that I can control via wifi. I'm open to suggestions, what do you think about the plan?
