I have a Bintel 8"F4. FOV 1.5x1deg on an APS sized chip.

Collimation is your biggest issue. You will need to buy Jim Fly's collimation tools, a laser is not going to cut it. F4 is very fast and collimation has to be spot on because of it.

Also worthwhile to get it flocked. I am in the city and went from 90s to 150s exposures, before light pollution got the better of me after flocking.
