The 8" dob your thinking of getting Has a BK7 primary, a 2" rack & pinion focuser (with 1.25 adapter) 2 1.25" eyepieces (no info as to what type) If you wanted a crayford style focuser, rather than a rack & pinion it'll cost you approx an extra $100. In my opinion well worth it but Rack&pinions work ok too.
Hope this helps.. PS price on Saxon arriving shortly.

This is what I found in your previous chat thingie
http://www.gs-telescope.com/dob.htm says here that they are plossl eyepieces...I will have to ask the other half what R&P is v's crayford....sorry you got me here....
I realise I am being a bit of a scab with my money at present, but I feel this will be the first and want to be well in the know before I spend my $2500+ on exactly what I want later, you know when I figure out what the heck the filters are for?
PS I gotta say I am enjoying this site, I have had a few good cackles...keep it up guys!
