Hi Tony,
Why do you want a 6"refractor when you have a 8" Dob?

If you really want a tracking scope, buy a EQ mount for your 8".
Your best mount would be a EQ6. Cheap enough.

If you really want the Konus, there ok but the EQ5 is a bit small for such a big refractor.
Hope that helps.

"OOPS" should have checked first. Its a mak. There good, have the same dew problems as SCT etc. A good second scope. Put a solar filter on it and get more use out of it. Pick it up for $800. Good buy. If it has tracking all the better.

Sorry for the first mistake


Best.
