Cool......i guess the big plus with that setup is the mount but man its price {and its GOTO variant } puts you into some interesting and tempting scope ranges . Seeing that you got a 8" Dob that would be suited to wide field DSOs viewing what about a refractor like the Meade LX75 AR5 {sells for 1900 i think ,the larger 6 inch sells for 2400 i think} , the higher focal length will help with plantery viewing and although youll still get some colour fringing {can be lessened with a special filter}as far ive read it delivers fine views . I really havent followed news on how the new LX75 mount performs lately but the Autostar GOTO system works well {Silvie may be able to give details on her LX55} and you get the LPI imager in the package to . If your keen to jump up to 10" aperture from my own experiance i havent noted any dramatic increase in gain with the change , its more subtle.
