Did some one mention 70mm guide scope.
I still have my 70mm although it is now on my newtonian , I just can't bare to part with it , plus I wouldn't get much for it any way.
It has been riding on top of 4 scopes now.
The original mount which I think was an EQ1 has long gone, and was , lets say limited.
Even though it's white it is the same tube.

The 8"f6 dob should be a good scope if it is of similar quality as the 12" by GSO
At f6 it will be easier to adjust and hopefully will have a resonably small diagonal for planetary contrast.
Good luck and clear skies.

Hey Ice I will correct you on the amount of chromatic colour of this Synta lens .
It is , don't forget f13 and the fringing colour that I get is very little , and only at unresonable high power does it become noticable. It is however due to it's 70mm aperature limited in resolving power.
You would have to chuck the finder as it has a plastic objective lens and is to small to be of much use.
