if it were me id be looking for a 6" sct or mak [mak cooldown is slower], you could grab a celestron 6se with its own goto mount form the US for a bit over $1k, then buy some nice eyepieces, a meade LS woudl also be good
-i worry if you go for an 8" the cool down will be a bit slower
-hence why a refractor is good [but they are more expensive]
i tink an alt/az goto mount will be easier for you than an equatorial, will be quicker to setup. definitiely buy the CAT scope from the US though, prices are much better there even with our currency sliding
