The 127mm ED Apo is a heavy beast - about the same as your 8". I would consider its stable mate the 80mm Meade ED Apo (same manufacturer). Ive tested one of these and they are really brilliant. far better correction in my opinion than the WO or SW brands. Coupled with the Astro-Tec 2" flattener you would be right in there even using a DSLR or QHY8 camera.
