Hi,
I've got an 8" reflector as well, but have'nt really seen many DSO's.
can you tell me what all you've seen with your scope, seen any galaxies, and what eyepieces you used to view saturn .

I tried saturn with a 15mm with and without a barlow, but was'nt very clear. could be my eyepieces which are the standard plossl's.
