Total $4029.. Leaving you $971 for miscellaneous cables and connectors that you will need... For that money you could nearly buy an ArgoNavis for the GM8 to give you "push to" The scope wont slew itself to the target, but it will tell you where to point...

Mount should be THE single most expensive thing you buy.
The Losmandy is by far the better mount, no problem there, but the EQ6 would give goto, and save another $500, and would be moer than enough mount for an ED80

wouldnt you agree?
