I have an Edge HD 9.25 but would prefer to keep that ready to go for visual and long FL photography. I am thinking of the 8 inch RASA as I can keep that ready to go with a camera always bolted on and near focus.

But it's a brilliant scope

Yes, there are many reviews that say the RASA is a great scope. At the moment it is on sale at OPT. I'm just trying to decide if the FL at 400mm is actually the image scale I want, as I would probably be limited to large nebula.
