Hi Mathew
I have a SW200mm F5 Newt and EQ6 Pro ( gotto ) equatorial mount and I use it a lot even though I also own a SW254mm F4.7 Newt, a 180mm SW Maksutov Cassegrain and also a 90mm Meade Mak ( gotto ). The 8 inch aperture gives crisp, bright, relatively widefield views of most objects of interest and it is quite convenient to use i.e. not too heavy to setup and not diffcult to get to the eyepiece for viewing. The 10 inch can require a foot stool to stand on at certain positions. I rarely take my 180mm and 90mm Maks out these days although I like them both.
You can check out images I have taken with the 200mm Newt by checking my profile and looking at threads I have posted.
Welcome to IIS and have fun, that's what it's all about.
Steve
