I have an Edge HD8 for sale in the Classified's right now, it's a pretty good planetary scope native f10 focal length is 2032mm, and that goes out to f20 @ 4064mm with a 2x Barlow. It is light enough for an NEQ6.

I would be buying a planetary camera capable of high frame rate video, that way you do not have to worry about guiding (and long focal length guiding is a real art which requires good gear). The ASI224MC is a reasonablly priced planetary camera.
