Scopes or filters

[Craig123]

Hi all

Like a good few on here  I started imaging with a Skywatcher  Ed80 purchased through SGL together with s/h Baader filters,  all on an Heq5 now coupled with asi1600 mono. 

I sold some gear recently and considered saving  for an Esprit 100 as an upgrade but I've started to wonder if I would be better off with  some chroma NB filters so I can image when the moons about  abit more with improved contrast etc  Any advice on what might be the way forward ?

I was told by a very knowledgeable chap  that the Esprit will give incremental improvement on my current scope but  think the filters might be more useful for now. When i started this hobby I thought it was difficult.. and I still do but in a different way 😂

Here is where I am at with my current set up from last month. Any advice much appreciated. Hoping  to avoid (any more) costly mistakes.. 😁
