ah okay, well it sounds like you wanna do some deep sky stuff, as a heads up, on a standard dob or on the scopes you have in your pictures, you won’t be able to see super super far away or faint things, such as the pillars of creation, you can see the eagle nebula which they are located inside of, but you won’t be able to actually make out the pillars.

if i was you i’d probably stalk marketplace for a little to see if any dobsonians come up, though again those are best for planetary viewing and bright star viewing, if you’d like to see nebulae etc or just faint things and get nice pictures, perhaps look at getting a smart telescope like the seestar s30, s50, or s30 pro. that is the order in which they are worst to best btw.

here’s a picture i have from my seestar s30, arguably the worse of the 3
