Worth it to buy 2" eyepieces for Newtonian telescope?

firstly, I would have to solve tracking for my dobsonian. Then DSLR and all the accessories - I might end without any dinner, at all [emoji3]

A large Dobsinian certainly gives you good bang per buck. It also forces you to learn about space navigation. I am glad you have a healthy attitude to overspending on your hobby! You are certainly getting a good return on your effort at the moment so good luck to you.

I recently bought a Pentax Ks2, which has the same viewer arrangement.

had to google it, wasn't familiar with that model ... nice !!
The rotatable rear panel is a god-send for astrophotography use

Whether the dead pixel count is due to age (not mine!) or generation of manufacture, my old K10D is truly awful!

just recently gave my K10 away to a "friend" on facebook who lives down in Melbourne ( I'm in Sydney) he didn't have a camera
Still have the K7 and the K5. The K7 doesn't get much use these days, the K5 has a 500mm sigma zoom that hardly ever gets removed
Cant remember if I ever checked for hot pixels on any of the Pentax cameras

The 3 Canon cameras are my main cameras these days
I was kinda shocked to see how many hot pixels my $3500 Canon 5D mk3 has haha
