Upgrade advice please.

[northwalesparry]

I'm looking to upgrade my current set up , which I've had for 7 years now . Skywatcher 130p on a goto alt/az mount .

I'm feeling that I've reached to full potential of this scope . Don't get me wrong I still love it . My main use will be visual and dso's ( astrophotography maybe).

Budget up to £1000 ( a little over at a push) .

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks Phil.

With that budget you could probably get either a 12'' Dobsonian without Goto or an 8'' with Goto. Obviously the first one is going to give you better views but you'll have to find the objects by yourself.

Neither of these will be suited for DSO astrophoto but you could do planetary.

You should also consider buying second hand
