Hi David & Alex
Thanks for the input.

Plan A was the small refractor for widefield DSOs and an 8inch SCT for planets and smaller DSOs. I got interested in C6 hyperstar based on Cuiv's (lazy geek youtuber) enthusiasm for his and then one appreared here for sale (which for better or worse i missed out on).


I recognise that i have a LONG way to go with the refractor before i need another scope - but i want to plan ahead so that i can build up a system methodically and get equipment used where possible. So based on input I will keep an eye out for 8in SCTs - with OSC the weight should be ok for the AZ-EQ5.

Still one question on Hyperstar. David mentioned they can be a headache. With that focal length i assume its not guiding related so what is the issue?
