Paul,
Have you looked at the Bintel GSO 8” f5 newt ?
I currently have a Bintel 6” f6 and it’s a great little scope
I use it both for visual and imaging ( see photos )
There is a post in “beginners equipment”comparing the Skywatcher 8” f5 black diamond photo newt with the Bintel GSO f5 newt
I’m buying a second scope ( 8” f5 newt on a NEQ6R mount ) early next year to use at my holiday house (semi dark site ) I will leave the existing 6” in Sydney
I will more than likely choose the Bintel GSO over the Skywatcher at this stage
Good luck with your purchase
