Looking for a DSLR to pair with my 8” classic 200p dob or skywatcher 130pds when i purchase one
Budget for camera is £200
Don’t need anything spectacular as it’s just for planets and nebula
Will be second hand so hopefully can find one to suit my budget.

Dob and 130pds, planets and nebula all have different requirements
If you were to get the dob a dslr wouldn't be able to focus and I'd suggest a planetary cam instead of the dslr, vice versa if you were to get the 130pds (assuming you have a tracking mount to use it on)

a dob is looking more like my option as it's cheaper as i'd need to pay lots for a mount for the tracking versions. would a planetary cam still see nebulas?

It can but it's much harder to shoot them
Planetary cam's sensors are small and the focal length on dobs is long

so what camera would you say is best to capture planets and nebs

The best you can get to attempt to shoot both is a camera with a 585 sensor, but as I said planets and nebulae have different requirements. You have to sacrifice something

yeah sounds like i need to make a decision between wanting to capture planets or nebulas

Not necessarily
With a proper eq platform you can Definetly do planetary and nebulae, the Neptune Series of player one is good for both imo

Retailers pump up the price a lot
Buying it from the website is cheaper
as VAT / Import is covered
So the price you see there is the price you pay
