Another thought: I found that an equatorial mount is better than a
Dobsonian, for two reasons:
* it is easier for you to look for a long time at a low contrast,
hard to see object, such as a planet, or (harder), a deep sky
object, and remember the occasional sharper images you see.
Incidentally, it helps to draw the image, too. You will notice
much more detail!
* it is easier for you to hand off the scope to someone else to
look at what you are looking at. This is amazingly important,
since a good many people will not be able to find an object once
it is lost.
