Which scope next as a grab and go to fill a gap?

I have a 6 inch Dob i picked up in a charity shop very cheaply, i added a dual speed focus as the original was not smooth due to rust but the mirror was perfect. Then i bought a MAK 127 and AZGTE to travel with as we move between Cheshire (bortle4) and Ross of Mull (Bortle 0) and the dob is too big to travel with. I'm looking for something quick and easy to put on an alt Az mount between clouds and showers that is small and wider field that i can start to use my crop nikon DSLR with for nebula images. so question is 80mm short tube or 100mm or jump to a 62mm APO?

Just a thought…..as your question relates to imaging maybe a post in one of the imaging sections may get a response.

For imaging you will need an EQ mount. An Alt/Az would need field de-rotation to work.
