Thanks Martin,
I did look at the NexDome Observatories and look very good for the US$ price but wasn't sure how much they would be in AU$ including delivery so decided to build a Roll-off roof style observatory. I do not want to go through the 2-3 hour setup as I would then probably use it very little.
That is the same tube I am looking at the GSO 8" f5 Newt and as you have stated, I will have to go for the EQ6-R mount. What guide scope do you use with the tube? I was going to use a 72ED so that I could also use this one as a stand alone. If I use the 72ED as stand alone, would it also need a guide scope? If so I might just get a smaller 50-60 guide as David suggested. I will also get the book you suggested, sounds good.
Cheers
Rod
