I have my eyes set on a bundle at astro anarchy - a Skywatcher newt 8" with a Neq6 mount but it's on pre order and no ETA as yet - looks like the other stores are out of stock too.
Strongly recommend the Bintel GSO 8” f5 newt on an EQ6-R mount for imaging ( see if Bintel can do you a deal !
GSO newts have slightly better mirrors and their focusers are so much better
I have both GSO newts and Skywatcher newts so I can confirm from experience with both. Don’t scrimp on a few bucks saving if you can help it
My 2 cents....
PS most telescope suppliers are waiting on stock from China anyway
