Hi DJDD

We have tried both steel and aluminium tripods with our 8" newt on an EQ5 mount and because of the marked in difference in stability I would not consider putting an 8" on an aluminium tripod if you have astro photography in mind. A smaller ota maybe but for the price difference if you were buying new definitely go for the steel tripod regardless of ota size.
