scorchia

Hi, I currently have an Orion Skyquest XT8 dobsonian telescope (my very first) and would like to upgrade. I’m looking for something that will give me better view of planets and deep sky objects than my current scope. Additionally I found the dobsonian mount being somehow uncomfortable and not that easy for me to haul around. I live in a moderately polluted city and I understand I won’t be seeing galaxies from where I am, I would have to go somewhere darker (can’t imagine doing so with my bulky dobsonian). What would be a good intermediate telescope that wouldn’t break the bank but would make a difference. Bonus if it has tracking capabilities p.s. I’m also not very interested in photography so that’s not a feature I must have thank you for taking the time to read and offer advice
