Think the mount is okay, but the rest seems to require quite a bit of fiddling around and testing. The refractor seems to me to be a more stable system to deal with, although some similar issues. Diego’s pics are amazing so clearly it’s possible but I wonder what efforts go into making that happen, or have gone into making it happen?

Your 8 Inch reflector F5 over a meter long so will have wind issues ,on the HEq5 is great for visual but close to limit for AP , but worth a try
