With all this talk of dobs, I've actually had a look at the GSO F6 8" Dob, with the idea that I could buy some tube rings and a dovetail giving me the ability to use it either EQ mounted or as a Dobsonian. Only issue is whether it would be too heavy/too unsteady on an EQ5 (which was fine with my old F5 8", but don't know about the heavier and longer F6).
Any recommendations as to whether I should go with the F5 OTA or F6 Dob?
