Hi Shawn,
may be too late but you could get an 8" newt SW reflector from Andrews (OTA only) for $399 and then whack a SW ProED100 refractor on it (FPL53 glass) for only $1199.
You get the finder, rings, case etc with the ProED and its now better glass than before.
Not sure about the F9 focal ratio though if this makes it too narrow for AP?
But then again, the 200mm newt is an F5 so maybe use that instead for fairly wide field shots?
Cheers
Chris
