Thanks for the suggestions guys. Looking at 14" or 16" dobs now. (for me size isn't an issue )

Question this leads me too now is, do I get something more like this and add Astro Devices Nexus,

Or do I just get the complete GoTo package for approx. $500 more?

Ohhh, now that does look like a nice setup. I like that it packs up in a nice little box. Now do I need the extra 4" that I can get for that same discounted price

But from what I've read about the GoTo Dobs I'm looking at, they have a clutch mechanism that you can disengage to move the scope manually. Also, from a primarily visual point of view, the 8SE was a bit of a let down.
