Thanks Al.

The EQ6 looks like one awesome mount but think it's just out of reach for now. Do you know how an 8 inch newt/dob ota would go with something cheaper like an EQ5? I think even an HEQ5 or meade equivalent wont leave any change for the scope.

The ED80 looks impressive but on paper just don't seem to compare. ie. resolving power/light thoroughput etc. Is the sharpness and extra clarity worth a serious look? Mostly for visual but could see myself taking shortish exposures on DSE...

Really appreciate your advice.

thanks,
Trav
