Buying a better Telescope
200pman replied to keora's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
It just depends what you mean by a better telescope.that is such a difficult thing to find the right answer to. -
Depends how deep your pockets are. For me BST are a great upgrade on the stock eyepieces. Many on here like them. Great scope you have. Remember a dob is for life.

Sky-Watcher 200p Dobsonian
200pman replied to rajanp's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
I can recommend BST eyepieces.and good improvement over the supplied ones. I have a full set of BST and they are very good. Many people use them on this site. I also have a 200p. Which i will never sell.or upgrade unless i win the lottery. -

Get yourself a Waterbutt base.brings the eyepiece up to a more comfortable position.depending on how tall you are. -

There all good.just depends on you really. How much you are prepared to carry around .i have had a 200p for several years now.and ive been very pleased with it. The other thing is the 200p will easily fit in my little fiesta. I have purchased a full set of BST eyepieces which are a big improvement over the std eyepieces. I have enjoyed the 200p .yes there are better scopes out there. But value for money its a great scope. And i have no ambition to buy any other scope now or in the future. Regards. -
What to buy to replace my 8" Dob?
200pman replied to eclenic's topic in Getting Started Equipment Help and Advice
You will be looking at a lot of money to outperform the 8"dob. I wouldnt be so keen to sell it until you find the scope that will give you what you need. Never will sell mine.
