Hi Tim
The rc8 with that moonlight is a bargain. Here is also one up from David Naskies which is a steal as well. Check out some of the images he was churning out with it.
What I like about mine is that it has a huge amount of back focus and the moonlight handles the imaging train well ( stl603 and mmoag)
With the as1600 chip you won't see too much of the curvature you get with an RC because of the mirror design as well. I don't use a flattener and just crop away any issues.
collimation is fun but once dialed in you don't need to adjust much, well, when you have a permanent setup that is. Tweaking with the secondary gets you where you need to be, you should very rarely need to adjust the primary Search ICE for Als collimating aide as well. Great for tweaking the secondary.
Focus holds very well during the night.
If you did want to throw a little extra money at the scope, the tak collimater plus adapters makes life easy as does the GSO tilt ring. I don't use laser gadgets
Will be fine on an eq6.
Of course it's slower than the newt but that's just a question what you want to image and then just Patience.
