Hi Vikram
Pardon my ignorance, I’ve been into astronomy for 4 years now but I’ve never come across the acronym EAA ??
What’s EAA ?
Also a 6” f5 newt is only 6kg lighter than a C8 and only 850mm long
Here’s a couple of my images captured under Bortle 8 skies in Sydney a while back on a similar scope but at f6 both planetary and Deep sky objects ( DSO’s)
I also observe and image on the south coast near Ulladulla at my weekender which has Bortle 3 skies
Don’t discount a newt , they are so versatile and simple in construction , ease of maintenance and easy to collimate
I have a 6” and 8” for Astrophotography and a 12” for observing
Cheers
