Hi Dennis.

I'm a little confused as to what your post title has to do with your question regarding an 8" SCT?

But... to your question. From everything I've read and the comments from owners of the same scope as yours it should be a good one.

How much does it weigh and how long have you owned it?

I'm guessing it's either an LX90 or LX200 model. Which means you have to move the unit as a whole? (tube and forks)

That's why a lot of us buy the tube (or OTA) and place them on separate mounts rather than have them "tied" to fork mounts and tripod.

Maybe you could consider buying a scope buggy? That way you could wheel the unit in and out of a garage or shed if you have one.
