Let me tell you again that i don't have a big budget like some others....
Let's say about 600$.


Just a thought, you can get a 8' Dob for less than $600 and keep your
refractor and mount, use one when you want tracking, the other for
DSO's, the two outfits make a nice combination IMO, you'd probably
even have change to get a bigger refractor to put on the EQ2/3. I've
got a similar setup, a 120mm refractor on a motorized EQ mount and a
12' Dob, the best of both worlds for astronomers on a budget (and for
when a can't be bothered carrying the Dob to set it up)!
