Beef for 2 persons?

Coming home from a long workday, made couscous from HelloFresh. This amount was supposed to serve two people? Good for people who want to lose weight but not for me!

I’m seeing a second-hand Skymax 127 for 600 euro. And possibly I can reduce the price.

My first choice would still be an 8 inch dobsonian, but because of having no garden, I’m considering something more portable.

Plus points I see:
- small, goes into a backpack.
- I see myself walking with it to a nearby park (+-800m)
- looks good for planetery views
- good mount; looks nicer and more professional than a tabletop dobson.

Downsides:
- small fov (not great for nebula?)
- smaller aperture.
- Is it even possible seeing deepsky with it?

I was hoping to see at least some structure in nebulaes. For example: distinguishing the cloud of andromeda (as a grey smudge) from surrounding space and not only the center bulge.

If not, what would practically be the minimal size to see this, also taking into consideration light polution (5-7 bortle).

How does HelloFresh determine portion sizes? (Belgium based). I’m quite skinny but often eat what would be considered a “meal for two,” especially after a long workday. I just received my first box, and the portions felt pretty small, even though each meal is labeled as serving two people. And I’m below average sized…

I’m curious how HelloFresh decides on these portion sizes. It’s hard to imagine a one-size-fits-all approach makes sense, since people’s calorie needs vary widely depending on factors like activity level, lifestyle, and type of work, sports, body weight…

I feel like I need to go to the store to buy some extra meat.

Also, a salesperson at my door told me I’d be able to pay using meal vouchers, which unfortunately turned out not to be true. As a result, I’m now spending significantly more on food than I did before.

I was looking into 8 inch dobsons but portability for me is also tempting. While I wanted the power of a dobson, taking a bag with the telescope and walk to a nearby park after a long work day seems something I would consider the more I start thinking about it.

I found a Skywatcher 120/600 telescope for 250 euro. Would this be a good deal?

Bortle 7 skies. Bortle 5 half hour drive.
Preference: general telescope to discover what I like the most. Both planetery and deepsky.
