Today i have decided that i can't get much more out of my 55-200 kit lens (although i got couple of good images with it), whole moon is literally under 500px in diameter so there is not much detail to be had. So i'm willing to get some small refractor, mainly for dso's, currently rocking swsa with no guiding. What is reasonable to look for if i want to keep using apsc dslr at least for now?

You're gonna struggle with anything more than a camera lens on a swsa tbh. A 60-70mm refractor is the most I can reasonably recommend
My #1 recommendation would be a rokinon 135mm f2 lens, but the focal length of that is even less than your kit lens at 200mm, so it won't solve your problem of not having enough reach
