Great scope for the money.
I owned that scope on the EQ5 with dual axis motors and had a ball with it for about 12 months.
If you can afford it...I recommend you spring the dollars for that package, although I have no idea how much you are looking to spend?
An 8" reflector will allow you to see plenty.
Just get yourself a few good eyepieces and you are on your way
Welcome to IIS, by the way
