Don't under estimate the HEQ5 pro mount, it punches well above its weight. With a bit of perseverance you can get good results with this mount and an 8" newt on top. You will need to get a short step ladder with hand rail on top, as the eyepiece can get to awkward places on an eq mount. The HEQ5 pro mount is the minimum size mount to get if your thinking about a bit of astrophotography. My scope is a dob, but I have added tube rings so I can also mount it on my HEQ5 for astophotography, so the best of both worlds.
