good post! I completely agree that 200 is about the limit for a dob.
Under our skies yes but I've read so many times on Cloudy nights that they in the USA can get x600 + from their dobs. Their seeing is far superior to ours but you still need to track, unless they have tracking mounts as well.

A very imformative post WH must have took some time to type out.
I agree with everything you say and eventually my plan is also to slim my collection down to 4 good eyepieces.
I do not like barlows so my ideal collection to accompany my dob will be.

Add somme velcro and thats one awesome light shield.

Thankyou for taking the time to do this.
Eyepieces - the very least you need.

I agree here, most of what I read I do not really believe and take it with a grain of salt, but there's alot of people who do use very high mags with dobs.
It is possible just needs mega practice.
