just a thought: the larger the glass and the more the gadgets the more time spent on maintenance which leads to less visualization and more frustration followed by another used large glass on the market and the GOTO owner headed for a new hobby- with that said i would look for something in the 4-5 inch refractor or 6 inch relfector with good optics on a good mount coupled with some nice "how to find" books - i think your friend will enjoy this much more than doing hours of 1-2 star alignment just to get something in the glass- clear skies rocco WB9QPU
