Question need some advice

Hey crew. Thanks heaps for the forum, Id have no idea how to get started without it. Ive got a few noob Qs. Sorry to hassle you with them but i cant find anyone around that can help much (im out in the bush}. My brother had a small DOB years ago but was nicked(cant remember specs i was about 10yo).Been saven up and nearly ready to buy but I dont know how much good viewing ill get through an 8" reflector on an EQ mount compared to the 10" I want to work my way up to photography of
mostly deep space stuff ( your pics are sic !)
Ive got about $1400 or so to spend but i wanted some left over for extra bits. Should i save more and go for a 10"? Or get an 8" and lots of mods?
A guy in Brisbane quoted $1200 for a saxon 8" on an EQ with no extra toys,i know i can do better than that.

Oh yeah, i think i found you guys through google. Ive been watching and learning for weeks and just got the guts to ask. Sorry if its a bit long winded (ths is my first go at a forum)
Anyway take your time to answer as im not in too much of a rush and thanks again for all the good info. Cant wait to see through time again!
