the longer focal length creates a tighter field of view so you are more 'zoomed' in with the longer focal length. you don't see many f/8 newts these days. if it were me i'd probably go with the f5 newt - in fact that was my first scope.

I don't know anything about the orbinar brand but the scope is f4 which means you will definitely need a coma corrector for viewing.

what are you looking to put it on top of?
