I have an 8" dobsonian, it is not collapsible and hence hard to transport.

I live in a bortle 8 area and the only stuff I have seen in 1 year is planets, moon, m31, m42, some open clusters, 1 globular cluster (m5). Everything above 6+ mag (spread out brightness) is way too faint. I can see 9mag point objects (eg-neptune).

Im missing all the DSOs.

I can't drive (age) and my friends/family are busy and unavailable to transport it to a less polluted area.

Currently jupiter is going down, saturn is barely rising and moon is with the sun. There's literally nothing to see.

Any suggestions?

Im a DASA student and aiming for AE in masters (so mechE in btech)
